Outrageous Progressive Government Spending Programs Are Ripping Off Americans

What the "Heck" (Hel*) is going on here! I knew the government spent taxpayer dollars on some foolish projects and grants but what has been exposed by non-mainstream media is SHOCKING and MADDENING! 
As Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) audits each Federal government department in search of wasteful spending they have uncovered some real beauties. And my reaction is why are we using our taxpayer dollars to fund such programs. 
Take the USAID Agency (United States-Foreign Aid) where hard working U.S. citizen's monies are being spent for liberal and progressive causes. 68 Billion dollars were ok'd by the Biden Administration in 2023 for USAID programs.
USAID
Some Programs Where Your Money Was Spent:
*20 Million for Sesame Street programming in Iraq.
*14 Million to provide abortion assistance in Zimbabwe.
*6 Million for tourism in Egypt. (What the pyramids are not drawing visitors!)
*2 Million to help the BBC value the diversity of Libyan society.
*2 Million for Guatemalan trans surgeries.
Do you really want your tax dollars going towards these idiotic "foreign programs" that will continue to increase the Federal Deficit. Couldn't this money be better spent at home to build shelters for the homeless, or help citizens whose lives were destroyed by the California Wildfires. And how about the victims of Hurricane Helene, which devasted parts of Georgia and North Carolina.
Another agency needing an overhaul is FEMA and it's fraudulent practices. The Biden Administration allowed monies to be taken out of this agency for disaster relief to be used for illegal immigrants transported into the U.S.
FEMA
Here are a few of the expenditures:
*110 Million to the emergency food and shelter program to assist migrants.
*77 Million authorized by Congress to Homeland Security (part of FEMA) to communities willing to accept illegal migrants.
*59 million sent to NYC to put illegal migrants in luxury hotels. (The Trump Administration suspended that one!)
---Yet, only $750 per person to get by for those who lost everything from Hurricane Helene. Shameful!
And now the Democrats are fighting the Trump administration with lawsuits to attempt to keep DOGE from finding out how (YOUR) taxpayer money is being spent in other government agencies. From some of these above expenditures I can see why.
***Shouldn't we be allowed to look at the books of the departments which spend our money? We as taxpayers have the right to know where our dollars are going!
Although the Democrats are using the courts to delay the audits, thank goodness President Trump will continue to fight against the Deep State to cut out waste, uncover the Democrat deception, and rid us of these lunatic programs.
***And that means less money taken out of our pockets in taxes.
So much more I could reveal about what your government has been wasting your money on but anyone with common sense gets the picture...

The list is crazy and I see you didn't list the half of it! Democrats need to wake up and see the light. I'm sick and tired of all the whining about Donald Trump. Get over it--he won the election fair and square. He's trying to make our country better. It has been the laughing stock of other countries for the past 4 years.

I think more and more voting Democrats are getting it. I mean, when you look at Trump's election numbers, there were TONS of Democrats voting for Trump. On top of that, Democrats' polling numbrs are in the tank. The more that becomes apparent to voters on both sides of the aisle, what's really been going on, the angrier the voters are becoming that they were duped and lied to and worse...STOLEN FROM.
The sh*t has only begun to hit the fan, and what we're finding so far is only the tip of the iceberg.

Wow DB that is absolutely shocking.
Surely some of that money could build affordable housing or something here in the USA.
Oh no nevermind that because that would be Americans might not be homeless..or something.
Oh and on top of that..those 'nations' hate Americans and would spit on America.

The bottom line is Biden was never for America. All he was interested in was lining his pockets, his immediate families' pockets AND extended families' pockets. That's not including his many croonies. That is why all this money went to foreign countries far and wide. He got paid for it ALL!

Amen to that! Continuing to spend money on these useless programs will increase our debt to the point of it being unsustainable collapsing our economy.

USAID accounts for 1% of the federal budget. If you want to save money and end corruption, fire Trump, deport his anchor babies and start taxing billionaires.

@dgobucks226 We are paying the worst manager ever $400,000 annually to do nothing but Tweet, play golf, break the law and destroy everything he touches. Plus, we pay a fortune to keep protecting him his cult members that are trying to kill him. That's the ridiculous waste you should be worried about.

CNN/MSNBC TALKING POINTS!
We have up to 14,000 employees in the USAID agency and what do they do? That's a lot of salaries we are paying!
The reason the Democrats don't want the agencies audited is because they want the uncontrolled spending to continue. Why, because most of the programs go towards progressive liberal causes.
USAID and FEMA are corrupt. More ridiculous spending programs:
-We gave $17 million to help Africans do taxes.
-$1.5 million for "one" federal employee to observe mailing and clerical operations at "one" mail center.
-100 million in DEI training programs at the Department of Education.
I believe all of our tax dollars that are wasted are precious. Especially, when used for ridiculous programs like these. You should be supporting not minimizing the importance of saving "your" taxpayer dollars.
