I've been thinking about easily Americans are fooled by emotional words including waste, bureaucracy, abuse of taxpayer monies, etc. . Already I've been reading MAGA and others speak about waste and abuse in USAID. If they were better informed, they would find out USAID & all federal agencies are required to undergo an annual audit. USAID passed its annual audit.
But, guess who hasn't passed an audit in decades? It's Department of Defense which failed its annual audit for the past seven years and DOD was not audited for many years. DOJ's 2024 audit reported $824 Billion missing money.
Isn't it interesting Musk and gang targeted USAID and DOE for scrutiny and illegally took control of their computer systems including the ability to change code (lots of criminality is possible when someone can alter code.) Musk didn't target the Department of Defense which is already known for waste and abuse. Is it because Musk and his buddy, Thiel are beneficiaries of DOD waste and abuse? We know it's ideological because Musk, Thiel and GOP HATE poor, sick, and vulnerable people and prefer money going to the real elites (not the starving Sudanese and Yemeni babies who they frankly see as less than animals and dispensable.
I heard on the radio today that a lot of supplies purchased by USAID including food and medicines (and probably condoms!) are rotting on US docks waiting to be shipped overseas
Totally agree with you.
