DOGE saves the U.S. taxpayer $51 Million

Wednesday, April 09, 2025

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced $51 million in cuts from the U.S. African Development Foundation, which included hundreds of thousands of dollars for marketing shea butter and pineapple juice, as well as mango drying facilities.

The funding that was canceled also included $10 million for "gender equity in the Mexican workplace," $12.2 million for "worker empowerment in South America" and $6.25 million for "improving respect for workers' rights in agricultural supply chains" in the countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

Comments

Someone justify to me why taxpayer dollars should be spent for "gender equity" in Mexico.

I know you will go off topic or divert, but I thought I would try.

#1 | Posted by boaz at 2025-04-09 07:50 AM

Boaz. How do you define "gender equity"? How does the US African Development Foundation define it?

Hardly off topic, but since you're using a loaded term that appears in the article, we should all agree on what it means.

While you're at it, give us your thoughts on globalization and abuse of workers around the world to benefit Western lifestyles.

Also on topic.

Thanks.

DOGE and Trump are costing the country much more than they save.

That's obvious to anyone but the fanatics yet to be bled by Trump/DOGE.

Why do my tax dollars need to be spent for gender equity in another nation?

Boaz.

Do you really not understand why America would give such paltry amounts of money (in terms of federal spending) to African countries?

Not that it really matters anymore since China bought all the mining rights to African nations while America played war in the Middle East.

#10 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-04-09 12:02 PM

$51 million! Wow! That's like a third of the money Trump has spent on his golf outings in the last three months! Yeehaa!

I like watching poor people suffer too, BoAZ.

As the wealthiest and most militarily powerful nation in the world, we should never do anything to help the less fortunate. Far better for us to spend trillions blowing people up than a thousandth of that on our soft power.

Or perhaps can you see what we're saying, and you agree, but you'd just rather not spend the money improving the western hemisphere when it could be used to pay for tax cuts for the global rich.

Because the Founding Fathers built this nation on human rights.

Because those people are likely making products for you so that you and me can buy them at a low cost.

The United States fought wars to protect people's rights.

And now the world is concerned about the quickly diminishing human rights situation in the United States.

You may not care about the world. It's another thing to not care about your fellow citizens.

Boaz, have you checked the political affiliation of those who died in southern flooding to see if they were the right ones to die?

Another direct question. When you were in Central Asia, were you fighting for oil, rights, land? What did the US presence represent to you?

That will get them on your side. Don't get excited. Whites have Pavlov dog response to anything African.

It's only one SPECIFIC issue.

"Because the Founding Fathers built this nation on human rights."
No they didn't. They built it on less government interference in the citizen's lives and less taxation.
I don't know what world you people live in..

"- the only question is what level of cheating was required for that to occur."

Duuuuuude.

It's five years later, and there has STILL BEEN NO EVIDENCE for your claim. When will the first piece of proof be submitted in a court of law? And why do Republican lawyers NEVER UTTER the word "fraud" inside a courtroom?

"The only question" is how big a chump you'll turn out to be.

But thanks for proving my point: your party can't tolerate anyone who tells the truth.

"Why did the MSM ... bury Hunter's laptop? "

#1 The provenance

#2. Lev Parnas's admissions

#3 Rudy's admissions, and his refusal to allow the hard drive to be examined.

#4. The fact Fox, Newsmax, and OANN also passed on the story

#5. The reporter on the NY Post byline was stunned to see her name as the byline.

How about you address these elephants in the room?

"Nobody denies that Joe Biden won "

Only if you're using Republican Math.

But look! You're even lying TO YOURSELF.

It's like the comedy writes itself.

"Nobody denies that Joe Biden won"

Not to be too pedantic, but:
They deny he won without cheating.
Roughly half the Republicans here deny Joe Biden won without cheating.

Exactly.

Nice distillation.

They always leave themselves an "out."

Anyone who has to deal with alcoholics or drug addicts, or people who can't manage their money, knows the type.

Nothing is ever their fault. It's the white version of

Look what the police did to my baby, my baby Dindu Nuffin.

Nothing is ever Trump's fault.

Trump trolls are so stupid they are literally campaigning for Democrats now.

We don't have to pay them for this, do we?

Trump has passed 5 trillion in tax cuts going to the most wealthy. He's aiming for six.

And yet the FBI says it is the real deal - AND Biden pardoned his kid for 10+ years of crimes. But you probably still think it is Russian disinformation.

#116 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-04-10 08:05 PM

" And yet the FBI says it is the real deal "

The laptop, not necessarily everything on it.

YUUUUUGE difference.

Quick question: should YOU be held responsible for everything on a laptop out of your hands for 6 months?

Remind us why provenance is important.

" Biden pardoned his kid for 10+ years of crimes"

AFTER his son had been the victim of lawfare, and AFTER the President-Elect stated he'd commit lawfare against his perceived enemies.

Why did you omit those salient parts? Fox and Newsmax not reporting those tidbits???

#119 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-04-10 08:14 PM

"AFTER his son had been the victim of lawfare
#119 | Posted by Danforth"

What lawfare was Hunter the victim of? You think it is lawfare for Biden's DOJ to charge and get convictions against Hunter for crimes he clearly committed?

#120 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-04-10 08:44 PM

"What lawfare was Hunter the victim of?"

1. Threatened with prison time AFTER he'd paid off IRS debt, plus all interest and penalties.

2. The solo gun charge, NEVER brought alone.

3. #2 despite the facts it was owned for less than a fortnight, never fired, and never used in the commission of a crime, even brandishing.

Let me guess: the "news" outlets you frequent never brought up these issues.

#121 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-04-10 08:51 PM

"1. Threatened with prison time AFTER he'd paid off IRS debt, plus all interest and penalties."

A threat is lawfare? The taxes he evaded were only a small part of his tax problems after years of breaking the law.

"2. The solo gun charge, NEVER brought alone."

So, breaking the federal law should not be charged? I thought you were for gun control.

"3. #2 despite the facts it was owned for less than a fortnight, never fired, and never used in the commission of a crime, even brandishing.

He brought it within a school zone and then allowed it to be thrown away in an unsecured garbage can in a school zone. Just because he didn't yet commit another crime with it does not dismiss the fact that he lied on a federal form.

#122 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-04-10 08:56 PM

Look at this maga maroon getting all worked up over Hunter Biden lying on a federal form. If only they would get as worked up over an attempted coup and terrorist attack on our nations and the death of multiple Capitol Police.

Aren't maga maroon trolls furious little creatures!

I am thinking of getting one for my yard. To keep the skunks away.

"he lied on a federal form."

It could have been an honest mistake. Not that it matters. You're in favor of imprisoning and deporting people for an honest mistake too.

Elon and Melania lied on their federal immigration forms.

"Just because he didn't yet commit another crime with it does not dismiss the fact that he lied on a federal form."

Agreed. But bringing that charge by itself doesn't happen. Except to Hunter.
