The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Established in 1995, CEPPS is a combination of the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute.

===============

30 years of benign neglect is plenty of time to drift far from any initial mission you once had. There was a time when the focus of USAID was Disaster Relief, Fighting Poverty, and Promoting Democracy before losing sight of that noble mission. And making matters worse is their arrogant defiance of being help accountable for their decisions.

Marco Rubio, acting Administrator of USAID, speaking in El Salvador on Monday, put it this way,

"They think their master is the globe and not the United States. The goal always has been to reform it, but now we have rank insubordination... Their basic attitude is that we don't work for anyone. We work for ourselves and no agency of government can tell us what to do."
