There are those that say all government aid is a scam in one way or another, and so far the revelations surrounding USAID are proving those people right daily. Democrats and the establishment media, in a bid to muddy the waters and save face, continue to claim that there was never any fraud at USAID and that the Trump Administration is simply labeling projects they "disagree with" as suspect.
Of course, spending American tax dollars on projects the public never asked for and were never told about is the epitome of fraud, and waste is never a good thing. Beyond that, the question of billions in missing funds certainly falls into the category of criminality.
Trump has taken a lot of heat from the media with the shut down of USAID and much of the criticism suggests that without US funds people in third world countries will fall back into desperation. The Washington Post recently claimed that Trump's cuts to USAID are a "gift to Haitian gangs" terrorizing the locals; a typical leftist appeal to emotion that assumes most of the funds were getting to the Haitians in the first place.
Yet another example of this problem has been revealed in a New York Post expose on the audit of USAID which shows a disturbing shortfall in funds surrounding ongoing relief projects in Haiti.
Most of the aid money sent to Haiti wound up in Washington DC company coffers. Imagine that!! There needs to be a forensic audit of USAID moneys and where they went and then further forensic audits of those companies and entities until the pennies are found in the piggy banks they were put in. I think there will be some heavy surprises and some criminal charges filed. And, if we are very lucky, some of those psychopathic parasites will end up with very stiff jail sentences, not to be forgiven. Barry and Mike might even share a cell!!!
