Are these the same auditors that led to U.S. citizens' tax dollars funding transgender surgery shops in India? Two million dollars to understand the psychological effects of losing rock-paper-scissors? If so I don't put too much stock in their opinions.

No.
these sound fine to me. what isn't fine is sending 2000 lb bombs to annihilate Gaza.

EDIT: I support destroying USAID for exactly the reasons stated in the thread below. However, I think they are simply reorganizing it under the state dept. to have more executive control over its programs.

I don't think that this is the main target of their cuts tbh. I think they are eyeing social security and medicaid.

Or, presumably, allowing foreign governments to kidnap or kill US citizens without repercussions?
Well, if the bombs bother you, wait until you hear about the string of destabilizing efforts in support of color revolu ...

Er, I mean "capacity building" in support of "democracy" via hundreds of oxymoronic NGOs.

Anyway, that's where the majority of cuts are being made, and why we're seeing such pushback, including here.

Two million dollars? Conservatively less than a penny per taxpayer? This is what you’re worried about?
