> Before destroying an entire organization, it’s important to know their true impact and how much it’ll hurt to have them gone

I have to prove my impact every 6 months as an engineer. I expect an entire organization can do the same - the fact there is not a clear impact people can point to speaks volumes.



They release a yearly impact report.

Every right-wing comment on this page is just asserting stuff. There's no information in any of them. No attempts to educate or inform. No breakdown or analysis of what USAID does and the cost-benefit of shutting them down.

Try doing a little research and writing a paragraph on what USAID does and the pros and cons of shutting them down. It would be good for you.


Nope. There's lots of information both on this page and throughout the internet.

You can't reform an institution that's filled with your political opponents when they aim to sabotage you. Many federal employees worked to sabotage Trump in his first term, and how that he has such a strong mandate from the voters he's going after the people who sabotaged him so that the country doesn't destroy itself in a debt spiral.


That's just a regurgitation of talking points, so I guess there's no conversation to be had here.


Nope, they're not "talking points" it's called reality.
