I wondered why I heard a million liberal voices screaming out in terror:
Yes, USAID is no more. No longer will Democrats be able to use it as a slush fund for peddling influence and conducting soft warfare through non-profits of their choosing.
Whatever will they do now that they can't use Americans' money to import people to replace Americans??
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the official end of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) on Tuesday, after rapidly dismantling the government's foreign aid arm since President Trump's return to the White House.
USAID's official shutdown comes following a study published Monday in the Lancet Medical journal projecting that more than 14 million additional deaths could occur globally as a result of the U.S. aid reductions, including 4.5 million deaths among children.
The media is quick to include this number, as if it is the American government's responsibility to allot its citizens funds to secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for other nations.
(This is what happens when you replace churches and private charity with the State.)
Lest we forget, the government is horrible at efficiently and ethically using money to help people:
Rubio said that USAID had failed, for decades, to deliver meaningful results for Americans or foreign recipients:
‘Development objectives have rarely been met, instability has often worsened, and anti-American sentiment has only grown,' Rubio wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. ‘This era of government-sanctioned inefficiency has officially come to an end.'
Got what I voted for!
As for the American people's strong desire to help others (there's that Christian DNA raising its head again!), never fear: Spending on humanitarian aid will continue, but will be directly monitored by the State Department for greater transparency.
