'These Are Not Donor Dollars': Marco Rubio Acting Head Of USAID, Vows To Reform Spending
Posted • February 3, 2025: We've told you a lot about USAID, the government agency tasked with sending our tax dollars across the globe. As part of his administration's goal of reining in spending, Donald Trump is reworking USAID. Why? Well, check out what it actually spends our money on here. https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/02/03/chip-roy-shows-what-weve-all-been-paying-for-with-usaid-n2407784 -- Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now the new acting director of the agency, and here's what he said about its new priorities: Pure fire from new acting director of USAID Marco Rubio: "Every dollar we spend will be aligned with the national interest of the United States. USAID has a history of ignoring that and deciding that they're a global charity. These are not donor dollars, these are taxpayer dollars. We owe the American people assurances that every dollar we are spending abroad is being spent on something that furthers our national interest."
This is what we want to hear. This is how it should be. Marco Rubio is exactly right. USAID has spent years acting like a globalist slush fund, throwing billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars at projects that do nothing to benefit America. Under Trump’s leadership, that era is over. Every dollar must serve the national interest—period. For far too long, USAID has operated with zero accountability, funneling money into corrupt foreign governments, radical NGOs, and leftist “climate” initiatives that have no business being funded by hardworking Americans. Meanwhile, American cities crumble, veterans go homeless, and the border remains a disaster. Enough is enough. The Biden administration turned USAID into an international ATM for their globalist agenda, using taxpayer money to prop up woke policies, gender studies in Pakistan, and other nonsense. Rubio is making it clear: That ends now. No more unchecked spending. No more backdoor funding for leftist pet projects.
This is how America wins—by putting America First in everything, including foreign aid. If it doesn’t serve U.S. interests, it doesn’t get a dime. Simple as that. -- The slush fund has dried up. “These are not donor dollars” AMEN — my taxes are too high if you can use them to freely fund anything that isn’t in our national interest as citizens (we don’t care about the interests of corrupt congressmen and women who are lining their own pockets). We loved that remark because it's true: these aren't donations. These are taxpayer dollars. Rubio ensures that USAID will serve the interest of the U.S. because fiscal responsibility is paramount. Fiscal responsibility is a must. We won't survive as a nation without it. I want USAID dead, I want it to stop funding Democrat activists, I want the overseas bots being funded by it shut down forever. That's the endgame here. (…)
