Anyone remember the Golden Fleece award?

[Seruzawa]

These are all just payouts to pals.

$859,000 on hiring a DEI specialist at USAID’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. (Award ID #720BHA23S00034);

That’s ONE expensive “DEI specialist?” Whose kid is it?

[Just mythoughts]

Talk about funding ‘mass’ confusion.. Babel, Babylon means ‘confusion’!

Yeah but I’m an Old Fart.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Fake titles to launder the money. Simple as that.

[piasa]

$1 million on hiring an LGBT advisor for USAID’s U.S. Personal Services Contractor program (Award ID #7200AA22S00012)

All that for just ONE useless counterproductive person?

[Jim W N]

The tip of the gov’t waste and illegality iceberg.

[joshua c]

was that proxmire?

[pierrem15]

All those circumsicion grants: "Mahels R Us" must have been cleaning up!

"Today's special: half off! Just kidding! Oy!"

[srmanuel]

Remember the big money exists in Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and the Military.

The fraud and abuse of funds is in the hundreds of billions in those departments.

[xp38]

Yep. A dim surprisingly.

[CatOwner]

I wonder if Trump knew it was this bad prior to being re-elected, or if the level of corruption is a surprise even to him?

[odawg]

“$100,000 to conduct a DEI survey in Ghana”

That is a fictitious accounting entry; the money certainly never went to Ghana but to someone’s pocket in Washington D C.

bttt

[Tell It Right]

$65.7 million on vasectomies in the Congo (Award ID #7200AA20CA00011);

See? Trump shutting this down is saving EV's by making sure there are future slave children to work the cobalt mines in Congo. /sarc

[ComputerGuy]

That DEI crap was/is expensive!
