B402, Asshole, how long did your "facts are facts" last with Liz Peek. The point is that everyone accepts that in governments and in global corporations there is waste. It's clear you are not interested ever in debating the merits of any question as you simply, again and again, just ignore any fact as the fact that Musk's DOGE is not interested in insurance companies scamming Medicare. Repeat:
Now, we know that there’s huge waste in Medicare, in the form of overpayments to Medicare Advantage plans .. https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/medicare-versus-the-insurance-industry . Through Medicare Advantage insurance companies have been gaming the system; the Medicare Payments Advisory Commission estimates the annual loss to taxpayers at more than $80 billion, that is, roughly twice USAID’s budget. Oddly, however, this clear example of gigantic fraud isn’t on Musk’s radar. Elon Musk IS Faking it -- https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175825984
and wander down yet another distractive alleyway. In this case you can't even do better than going to one of Trump's dangerously damaged now, newly loyal he hopes now, agency sites:
"Memorandum: Challenges to Accountability and Transparency Within USAID-Funded Programs Correspondence https://oig.usaid.gov/node/7399
You gotta be fucking kidding:
Trump fires USAID’s inspector general after report critical of funding freeze Paul Martin is one of around 20 inspectors general the administration has pushed out despite objections from lawmakers who say the firing methods violate statutes. [...]Martin’s dismissal comes after his office released a report on Monday saying the Trump administration’s recent spending freeze on foreign aid and efforts to cut USAID’s staffing had made it harder to ensure billions in U.S. funding was being spent properly. .. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/11/trump-fires-usaid-inspector-general-00203717
Again on your dodgy now source for evidence of USAid wrongdoing, you are a joke, from your new Trump dependent agency:
Note: As your Peek's was it's an opinion piece from The Hill. I dealt with Peek's, you deal with Lang's.
This is the asshole you are even more openly supporting now:
The second and current tenure of Donald Trump as the president of the United States began upon his inauguration on January 20, 2025. Trump, a member of the Republican Party who previously served as president from 2017 to 2021, took office following his victory over the incumbent U.S. vice president, Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party, in the 2024 presidential election. Alongside Trump's presidency, the Republican Party also holds majorities in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate during the 119th Congress.
On his first day, Trump pardoned about 1,500 people convicted of offenses in the January 6 Capitol attack. Within his first month, he signed approximately 70 executive orders (far more than any of his predecessors), some of which are being challenged in court. On immigration, he signed executive orders blocking asylum-seekers from entry to the U.S., reinstated the national emergency at the Mexico–U.S. border, designated drug cartels as terrorist organizations, and attempted to end birthright citizenship. He signed the Laken Riley Act as the first legislation of his term. Trump established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by the businessman Elon Musk, which is tasked with cutting spending by the federal government, limiting bureaucracy, and which has overseen mass layoffs of civil servants.
In international affairs, Trump withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Accords. He started a trade war with Canada and Mexico and continued the ongoing trade war with China. He has repeatedly expressed interest in annexing Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. In response to the Gaza War, he proposed an American takeover of the Gaza Strip, forcibly relocating the Palestinian population to other Arab states, and rebuilding Gaza into a tourist resort. Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Trump administration temporarily suspended the provision of intelligence and military aid to Ukraine, offered concessions to Russia, requested half of Ukraine's oil and minerals as repayment for American support, and said that Ukraine bore partial responsibility for the invasion. The administration resumed the aid after Ukraine agreed to a potential ceasefire.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump
You came here as a fraud claiming independence from political parties. Today there is no doubt about which party you openly support.
An impressive report so well received it got him fired like all the other IGs. Legit and lots of valid corrective actions needed, so why not let congressional oversight address what they approved...year after year. The IG report was a good start, but oh, no...let's just can the whole thing regardless of the many good things it accomplished. Congress is too busy screaming at each other vs. doing their oversight duty, so Muskrat Doge'd it...there's a better way, and this ain't it. Didn't even get a chance to really address his recommendations at https://oig.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/2024-11/TMC_FY_2025-FINAL.pdf Who needs soft power anyway?
