USAID Flops, But There May Be Alternatives

Elon Musk is helping President Donald J. Trump rein in profligate, reckless, and corrupt federal spending via the new Department of Government Efficiency.
Democrats are not amused.
Left-wing domestic terrorists have responded by firing bullets into the windshields of electric vehicles at Musk’s Tesla dealerships. They have torched Tesla charging stations, set Teslas ablaze in parking lots, and used Molotov cocktails to ignite multiple Teslas beside a Las Vegas showroom.
Devolving into the party of arson is unwise for Democrats, especially after last month’s Harvard-Harris survey found that 76% of U.S. voters support chopping waste and fraud from federal expenditures.
One need not be Milton Friedman to be enraged by what DOGE uncovered in Haiti: Since 2010, USAID has made some $2 billion in grants tied to that star-crossed Caribbean nation. Only 2% of these funds actually reached Haitian companies and organizations.
Inefficiency is one thing. When Haitians see a mere $40 million of a $2 billion outlay, this smacks of money laundering.

I remember CARE packages. After WWII, Americans sent care package to Europe. It was used to provide political cover for the Marshall Plan and all sorts of other “foreign aid”.
I have a “new” idea for “foreign aid”. Let the USA Gooferment identify places that need real help. Then let the “We, The Sheeple”, aka Taxpayers, decide who and how much. Americans are very charitable even though the Gooferment “elbows” their way into “charity” and seizes larger and larger portions of the wealth and earnings of ordinary people. Then, folks can pick and choose what and how much they can afford to donate.
Last time I looked there is no Constitution justification for the Gooferment to spend on such.
