USAID was preposterously corrupt and refused to cooperate with auditors because their books were so incriminating.
Then USAID should see some reformation than dismantling.
In terms of total amount given, the United States is typically the largest donor of humanitarian aid. However, when looking at aid as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI), other countries like Sweden, Luxembourg, and Norway have been noted to contribute a larger proportion of their wealth to foreign aid.

would you reform "the mafia" ?
Good analogy. A propaganda rag like WaPo would decry the loss of “protection services”.
I don’t agree. The function of USAID was to prop up corrupt regimes around the world and push corrupt American agendas onto foreign people. It needed to be disbanded.
There’s no good reason for tax dollars to go towards that sort of thing.
I believe you. I'm just saying there can be another way to help the needy or poverty ridden people. I'm with humanity and if America can it should. If not through USAID, then something else.
That’s what private charity is for.
The best way to help the world politically is to stop meddling in everyone’s affairs and open our markets to all.
Alright. US has a high number at giving index. Let's see how they keep doing charity. And how Trump uses the saved tax money!
From a budget standpoint, this is completely negligible.
The value of shutting down USAID is that they seem to have been a major funding source for so much of the cultural insanity of recent years.
It’s not rage towards the weak. USAID was preposterously corrupt and refused to cooperate with auditors because their books were so incriminating.
Americans give more to charity than any other people.
