The Trump administration has canceled more than 80% of all the programs at U.S. Agency for International Development following a six-week review, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday.
“The 5200 contracts that are now canceled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States,” Rubio said in an X post that he sent from his personal account. He then pinned it on his timeline.
The remaining approximately 1,000 programs, he said, would now be administered “more effectively” under the State Department and in consultation with Congress.
Only proves money doesn’t matter when its someone else’s money.
Cut the federal government in half this term…and cut it in half again next administration. At 25% the federal government might be “right sized”. Keep trimming the fat.
USAID spent $21.7 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2024, so DOGE just saved US $18 billion!!
