Why Bono and Rogan Clash Over USAID Cuts: The Shocking Truth

In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, U2's Bono claimed that 300,000 people have died due to abrupt cuts to USAID programs. Elon Musk, who led the Department of Government Efficiency, dismissed the claim, calling Bono a "liar" and an "idiot." Joe Rogan acknowledged the good some aid organizations do but criticized the lack of oversight and potential for fraud within USAID.

The 300,000 figure comes from a study by Dr. Brooke Nichols, an infectious disease modeler at Boston University. Her methodology estimates deaths based on funding cuts to programs like PEPFAR, which has saved over 26 million lives since 2003. While the number is an estimate, it's grounded in data and reflects real-world consequences.

This controversy raises critical questions:

Can we ensure fiscal responsibility without compromising humanitarian aid?

What are the real-world consequences of abrupt policy changes?
