How does USAID work? Don’t let the name fool you. It’s not what you think.

You might want to sit down before you go any further with this post. You’re about to enter the world of a thing called USAID. Like you, I found out about this ‘program’ over the weekend. And yeah, it’s infuriating. So, let’s dive into the world of USAID, how it works and all the ways our money is used. Don’t let the AID part fool you. It’s not what you think.

USAID stands for United States Agency for International Development. Not necessarily ‘help’. Or humanitarian aid. Development. USAID has a ‘budget’ of 50 billion dollars and that money goes flying around anywhere and everywhere. USAID was started by JFK back in 1961 and appears to have been well intentioned. Now it’s a giant blob of spending and we should be pissed AF.

Wherever huge piles of money are being spent, the grift is sure to follow. Now that Elon Musk and DOGE are pulling back the curtain on USAID, the receipts are well… shocking? Let’s highlight some of the more bombastic reveals about USAID.

In the best-case scenario, we have to reexamine how USAID works and how it’s funded. I’ll try to be magnanimous. But it would appear that USAID is a tool for some very bad people with an awful agenda. An agenda that we didn’t vote for. Let’s hope DOGE is successful in ‘reevaluating’ USAID. (I’m trying so hard to be polite here)

    The more this onion is peeled, the worse it is going to stink.

    Still have any questions why Trump was targeted, including assassination, the way he was?
