Each day there are more revelations into the programs that USAID spends our taxpayer money on. You can see why USAID and their suppoters did not anybody looking into their books..,

I have no doubt that buried in the gargantuan budget of USAID, you are going to find some items that you disagree with.

But take some of the very items you listed-
South African Transgender HIV research

First thing to note is the title: is this the actual title, or is this the interpretive spin applied by Musk’s band of happy destroyers.

Second thing: HIV has been a scourge in Africa. Addressing it with USAID money was a GWB initiative and well worth the money. Are transgenders a significant vector for HIV? That’s a question worth studying and addressing. So, sorry, but based on the limited title you provide, I call it a worthy area of research.

2 Ugandan LGBTQ rights

Given that Uganda passed a law in 2023 making homosexual activity a crime punishable by death, I’d say USAID money spent in defense of LGBTQ human rights was well spent.

And that’s just off the top of my head.
