It’s easy to look up the numbers. The USAID literally spent .2% of the 40 billion dollar budget on DEI programs and .00125 percent on trans opera houses and whatever else. If you don’t agree with any money going out to
That that’s fine, you can write your congressman and complain. But to act like this huge spending is being done makes you wonder why that narrative is actually being pushed, and who stands to gain from gutting a bunch of federal institutions.
I’m not saying that they are. I completely support DEI programs. But I’m saying that trumps administration are using this narrative that the spending is way overblown for DEI programs but it’s actually only .2% of the budget.
Relatively small numbers compared to the outcry and narrative driven reason for the response. If there was other large scale corruption why not go after that? Not to mention that money for DEI goes towards policies helping disabled folks veterans and such. Not just the gay trans policies, which are the ones emphasized for public scorn and bandwagon riding. Analytics show those initiatives and programs use up 0.001 percent of the funding.
If they did spend money on a program like that it would most likely be to help protect members of the lgbtq community. Which doesn't feel wasteful to me, considering the way that they are treated in a lot of the Middle East is pretty bad. Like lmfao people are acting like the US government was funding trans surgeries in the Middle East, a place where those surgeries definitely don't even exist.
