How much money, specifically, do you think is “taken” from the “poorest” and “given away” by USAID?
This is a weird line of attack on basically anything in the federal government’s budget, as is the suggestion that it works similarly to your household budget.
- aucisson_masque 2y agoThere are things people can't do by themselves and instead must rely on government, police for instance. There are things people can already do by themselves, give money to association that helps people in need is one of them. Imo that's what differentiate gouvernement budgets, taxpayer money shouldn't be used on things they can already do themselves if so they decide.

- jmye 2y agoI quoted the specific words GP used and the specific post GP made. I’m not clear how asking GP to elaborate on what was apparently a statement not made in good faith is “changing the topic”. Aside from the fact that it apparently makes ideological allies sad about having to explain what they really meant. Maybe you can elaborate on that.
