So How Much Money did Musk Save Taxpayers by Closing USAID?

[Rogue AI]

Nobody is paying for influence. Our goodwill goes a long way in diplomacy.

Not really, if these countries require the US for their survival they have nothing to offer. It's nothing but a liberal grift and silly feel good action. It does nothing to benefit the taxpayers.

 

[S.S.]

Is paying 200 million to buy a president not influence?

You said there's no influence. Which is it?

 

[S.S.]

Incorrect, I believe our biggest expenditure is the military. SS is the money we pay in.

Not even close. If you don't know encyclopedic basics, then why in the world did you create this discussion?

Cut mil transsexualism.

Less than .1 percent of this country is trans. That's about 30,000 out of 330 million.

 

[struth]

Reduce military spending.

There are a lot of cuts to be made there too. Such as funding for dei training

 

[S.S.]

Less than .1 percent of this country is trans. That's about 30,000 out of 330 million.

There is no such thing as "trans." Stop your nonsense.

DOGE is supposedt be saving us so much money. How much did Musk save us by closing USAID?

"In 2024, USAID accounted for 0.3% of all federal spending, 0.2% lower than in 1980. In the last 10 years, that share has remained the same. Major legislation, internal or global economic conditions, and acute events like the COVID-19 pandemic can affect spending year to year."

He saved us less than 1/2 of 1 percent and the cost us relative to our security, our heath and global leadership is far more than the money Musk "saved"

Is paying 200 million to buy a president not influence? Because DOGE is illegal, and Musk doesn't have the authority to close anything. Therefore your question is without merit.

The longest journey starts with one small step.
No reparations for you, loser.

There is and they are less than .1 percent of the population. End your obsession, there are more important things.

You just said, "Nobody is paying for influence." Your entire thought process and thread is without merit.

No, there is no such thing. Stop obsessing over things that do not exist.

Nothings been closed by musk

What is illegal about DOGE?

 

[IM2]

You just said, "Nobody is paying for influence." Your entire thought process and thread is without merit.

Wrong again. DOGE is illegal. This thread is about him cutting out an agency and not really saving us money, not your assumption about influence. I don't consider USAID as paying for influence.

As for your opinion on expenditures, Social Security is money we put in accounts and get paid back with Social Security payments, and the option to pay medicare premiums. So you can call that government spending if you want to, but I really don't because that's money we saved, and premiums for health care that we pay, not money the government is just giving away.

I'll bite, which countries are going to cause trouble for the US if we don't give them USAID money?

LoL!

The Ruskies, of course!

Why, if we won't give China millions of dollars for the Wuhan labs, or Egypt millions for their tourist industries, those countries will simply ask Putin, who ain't doin' nothin' right now, and he'll be glad to give them double!

If not them, then Iran will fund Fauci's research to turn monkeys into transgender monkeys.

Dumbest argument yet, and hjmick had to go some to claim that prize.

Ignorance. USAID does more than give money.

I am not the one obsessing and no matter what you say, trans people do exist.

I don't spend any money on depends. You guys seem to believe a lot of things are happening that really aren't.
