Where Does the Money Go? A Look at USAID Spending in Haiti.
CEPR.net: “We’re shutting it down,” Elon Musk said over the weekend in reference to USAID, the country’s main aid agency, which oversees around $40 billion a year in spending and has been around since the early 1960s. Following two weeks of chaos across the aid industry after the new US administration ordered a 90-day freeze on nearly all foreign assistance, it appears the Trump administration is attempting to move forward with a plan to close the agency and merge its responsibilities with the State Department, though legal challenges are likely.
Speaking Monday afternoon, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he was serving as acting administrator for the aid agency. “This is not about ending USAID,” Rubio told the press, rather it was aimed at ensuring “everything they do has to be in alignment with the national interest and the foreign policy of the United States.”
Few countries across the world are as dependent on US foreign assistance as Haiti. Last year, I published a book, Aid State, that details the long-term, damaging political ramifications of foreign assistance in Haiti; how aid circumvented the democratic process, eroded sovereignty, undermined local businesses and government, and served more as a benefit to US special interest groups than to the local population. Simply stopping all aid flows overnight, however, will have significant effects in Haiti. According to US officials, there will be a process for organizations providing humanitarian assistance to request waivers that would allow them to continue operating; but the freeze in spending amounted to a stop work order, halting ongoing programs in their tracks. read more

USAID, Clinton Foundation, Ukraine and many other programs are basically money laundering schemes. Then there are the Bidens who are either too dumb, or so brazen they don’t try to hide it…of course they did try Hunter’s Meth Breath Paintings to do so. We know where the money went…
I’ve said this since day one (whenever that was): a good part of all this money going “overseas” makes a u-turn back into the pockets of democrat politicians as their operatives.
It’s high time the Vatican step up to its responsibilities and take over the perpetual hardship that is Haiti. Afterall it’s catholic doctrine that encourages irresponsible procreation in 3rd world societies and Haiti certainly qualifies. How about it Francis? Want to put the churches money where your big fat mouth is for a change…..?
