Radiorum Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 “Cutting government spending” is such an abstract concept that does not make plain what really is at risk. What are the concrete effects of Trump’s and Musk’s vandalism on USAID? People are dying because funding for their oxygen has been cut off Nearly $500 million in food could go to waste Global health will be severely affected: Programs for nutrition, hygiene, toilets and access to clean water (which have a massive impact on TB and diarrheal diseases) have been impacted TB clinics have been put at risk HIV care, treatment and prevention to vulnerable children, have been suspended Crucial international clinical drug trials have their funds frozen It will take a massive, concentrated effort to repair the damage done to the US global reputation.

West Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Just now, robosmith said: To punish him for treason where it counts. How is it treason? He won an election with the popular vote and ran on a platform of cutting spending and getting it under control. If men wanna dress up like women and prance around in a parade, that's fine. Just use your own money to do so. Quote

West Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 I'm not surprised that Democrats are trying to block any sort of financial accountability. They are perfectly fine with tax dollars going to fund nonsense like drag story hours while the average person struggles to put food on the table. The judges blocking the necessary financial reforms are quite vile 1 Quote

I would love for the details of the contracts between our government and the vax manufactures to be made public. I would also like to know how much of our data we think is going to government is actually going to private businesses in P3 type arrangements. Edited February 15 by West Quote
