What happens when the public sector loses all sense of accountability to the law for how it spends taxpayers’ money? As President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating departments to stop waste, fraud and theft, a terrible culture of carelessness and politicized use of taxpayer money has been discovered.
Looking for waste and abuse, it is hard to find a worse example than the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The annual expenditure is estimated to be approximately $40 billion. Some examples of how money has been wasted are: $20 million to the production of Iraqi children’s TV, $11 million to stop the burning of garbage in Vietnam, $27 million for goodie bags for illegal immigrants upon being deported. Millions of dollars were used on infrastructure projects in foreign countries that were never completed and never put into use. 1.5 million dollars was given to promote DEI initiatives in Serbia, $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland, $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia and so on.
The abuse is so horrifying that Elon Musk on X calls USAID “a completely criminal and illegal organization.”
While the agency was supposed to deliver humanitarian assistance overseas, it turns out that it finances highly dangerous bioweapons production, shaping revolutions and funding uprisings as well as coup d’états, which produce millions of refugees. According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the CIA, funded by USAID and others, carried out 83 coups between 1947 and 1997.
USAID also funds the media – often outlets notoriously bent on biased news reporting that somehow solely serve the interests of the leftist globalist elite. One example is the BBC, which received $3 million in 2023-2024 from USAID, making it the BBC’s second-largest donor. Politico got $8 million. Internationally, the scale is enormous. In 2000 alone, USAID in Russia reportedly trained 57,000 journalists and advised 84 newspapers through its organization “Russian National Press Institute.” The World Economic Forum billionaire’s club has apparently received at least $700 million from USAID.
