USAID spending list...

We talk a lot on here about how to cut expenses from daily tasks. Packing a lunch, brewing coffee at home, etc etc. There has been a recent audit of where funds are being allocated. Here are some of the more interesting ones

• $50 million to fund condoms in Gaza
• $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia's workplaces
• $70,000 for the production of a DEI musical in Ireland
• $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia
• $32,000 for a transgender comic in Peru
• $37 million to the World Health Organization
• $16 million in funding for institutional contractors in gender development offices
• $4 million of funding for the Center for Climate-Positive Development
• $12 million in support services to the Bureau for Resilience, Environment, and Food Security

Now, USAID only represents around 1% of the total federal budget. But, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Looks like its time to start chipping away at the block.

Is anyone here for or against knowing where federal money is being spent? It seems like a great idea to finally have accountability as to where money is going and for what. Us american people are finally getting some transparency.

Seriously, I have zero interest in taking about this.

Doesnt this have an impact on everyone who pays taxes?

Stop spreading political misinformation! Thread reported!

[EasyMoney00]

Is it beneficial that the US taxpayers know where money is being spent? Or, is it better to be kept in the dark?

Well without researching the validity of your list, which I suspect isn’t completely true, I agree with 100% of those expenditures.

Thanks for the enlightening conversation.
