Time for other nations to pay.

They never mention what sacrifices American taxpayers are forced to make when their money is confiscated to give to others.

I see 20 programs that lined the pockets of 20 groups in 20 countries that had no effect on helping Americans in need.

1. I tend to doubt this - a lot of the actual aid programs have actually been kept.

2. The organization was obviously rotten to the core functioning as a giant Leftist slush fund. Good riddance to it.

Associated Propaganda never disappoints. I wish Trump would kick them out of the Whitehouse press pool.

We should not be the world’s piggy bank.

Taxation is slavery

The journalist “failed” to mention that should individual Americans find any of these causes worthy, they are free to donate their own money.

Let China and Middle Eastern countries fund these projects for a while. They’re great humanitarians.

And how does the Ass-ociated Press know these things?

They are hearing the bad news from worried U$AID-funded staffers. How else would they possibly know? Have they sent reporters to those scattered sites to see what is actually happening there? Doubtful.

Teach a man to fish .....

Any organization that is 36.2 trillion in the hole should NOT be making itself a lifeline for anyone. They will get complacent, feel entitled, and then hate you when you are forced to shut it down.

This is proof that these programs has been a failure since they are still needed.
