Ron Paul Calls to Shut Down USAID — Says It’s a Billion-Dollar Tool for Global Regime Change and Shadow Governments

The closing of USAID may be one of the most significant changes President Trump has made, among the many dramatic actions in his first couple of weeks in office.

Many Americans may still have the idea that USAID is a government agency delivering relief at disaster sites overseas. They may still remember the bags of rice or grain with the USAID logo on them, but that is not USAID.

USAID is a key component of the U.S. government’s regime change operations worldwide. USAID spends billions of dollars every year propping up NGOs overseas that function as shadow governments, eating away at elected governments that U.S. interventionists want to overthrow.

Behind most U.S. foreign policy disasters overseas, you will see the fingerprints of USAID. From Ukraine to Georgia and far beyond, USAID is meddling in the internal affairs of foreign countries—something that would infuriate Americans if it were happening to us.

I just saw a Republican senator talking about how she's been trying to investigate USAID for years and she never gets anywhere. She said they stonewall, they lie, they refuse to turn over documents, they stall, you never get anywhere with them because they have so much to hide. You can tell what a big deal this is and how much corruption there is by how the Democrats are coming unglued about it. It's everybody's favorite slush fund, and now the plug is being pulled.

Nature abhors a vacuum. We';re already complaining about China's rising influence around the world, and you want to pull back from engagement and give China even more room to muscle in?

The less tha 1% of the Federal budget that goes to USAID is money well spent. An MD should see that.

Typical libbie thinking. We don’t have the money, but somehow it’s wise to borrow more to give it away. Why not increase Alzheimer's funding by 10 billion? .

Quote: rxwine

Typical short-sighted conservative thinking. Wouldn't you even want to know what programs you just shut off? Maybe there was a small program shipping in insulin to teens in some remote country. Or a temporary food shortage due to drought and you're starving children?

Nope, you just may have killed more people than you ever saved in your career.
