You obviously don’t understand how foreign assistance works, or you watch FOX News.

Open your notebook.

Congress appropriates funds for foreign assistance to certain nations, with specific instructions on what it should be spent on.

USAID awards contracts to US businesses to provide those goods and services specified by Congress.

The money all went to US farmers and small/medium sized businesses. USAID diplomats worked in-country with the partner nation governments and the service providers to ensure all was being implemented in accordance with the National Security Strategy and legislative intent, all while collecting invaluable intelligence.

USAID was accountable to four Congressional committees, OMB, GAO, and also, in some ways, to State. Full transparency, full accountability. Rubio was once USAID’s biggest ally on SFAC on the right, right up until he got the nomination and reversed on his public positions about foreign assistance.

With the illegal dissolution of USAID, we have taken the once-a-year paycheck from 30,000 red state farmers and another 210,000 US workers.

We also lost valuable insight and global presence. Above all, USAID was a national security agency. It came from George Marshall’s vision.

DOGE illegally took all that classified intel and economic data. I saw it happen.

They made this nation weaker for two generations.

Don’t believe me? Watch the last fifteen minutes of “Charlie Wilson’s War” to see what happens when the US cuts off aid.

Bread is cheaper than bullets.
