Breitbart ^ | 03/27/2023 | John Hayward

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Ghana on Monday. She praised the “democratic principles” of President Nana Akufo-Addo and pledged $139 million in assistance for the coming fiscal year, plus a share of various regional initiatives, including economic support and counter-terrorism programs.

The extensive package of U.S. assistance promised to Ghana included heavy funding for “conflict prevention and stabilization,” U.S Agency for International Development (USAID) money for economic development in poverty-stricken northern Ghana, debt restructuring, fellowships for young Ghanaians to find work with the Ministry of Finance, and increased funding to combat forced labor and human trafficking.

Omni-budget spending bills. State department just gets a few hundred billion to throw around as they desire. Heck, they can't even account for where it goes?

Why is there even a congress? Detailed appropriation spending bills is their primary duty. They have not done that in what? Twenty years?

Why do they use gift as a verb? Surely we can come up with another word... I dunno, gaft? Gerf? Or how about give? That sounds good...

And Kamal Harris did not give Ghana the money, we the American people did through our tax dollars, whether current or future.

psst

The US isn’t giving Ghana 127 million they’re giving Ghana’s leadership a couple million and the rest is being laundered back into the hands of politicians all stripes, media, celebrities.

There is also a dollars per public dish on Trump pay scale.

Explains Romney and Christie and Pence et. al. They don’t have any idiological problem with Trump, their motivation is keeping the corruption alive and avoiding prison.

They want you Social Security money - so they can spend it and shower their friends and families with Money!

You’re supposed to believe them when they say they can’t afford to pay you your own money back

That’s the bait. Once accepted they’ll find out about the strings attached. Go full blown woke pervo or lose the cash.
