Hopefully, for all intents and purposes, this is disbanding it.

There are some places where aid is sensible but a lot is waste. Just watched a press briefing with Rubio. Apparently USAID thought they didn’t have to report to anyone.

"Need Congressional action for that."

Nope. USAID was created by executive order and it can be disbanded by executive order. I believe that only the functions are moving over to the State Department and everyone that work for USAID is getting fired.

Perhaps this is how to get around it.

This may be a temporary thing.

Exactly—USAID Food or money delivery may serve American interests in some situations. So, throwing the baby out with the bathwater is not a good idea, but severely restricting USAID monies not serving the taxpayer interests is a good thing.

And not necessarily in THAT order!

Is this a first step toward getting rid of it?

Feeding starving people with a big US flag on the bag of oatmeal or rice, and drilling a well for the village, I’m cool with that.

Organizing opposition and paying politicians and middlemen, no.
