The US Will Lose To China If It Doesn’t Stop Gutting USAID #usa #america USAID is getting butchered & most staff have been ordered to return to the United States. And if you care about this country, I think you should watch to the end. Almost all geopolitical experts agree that the death of USAID means the end of the American Century. All around the world…you have experts expecting millions of people will die from preventable disease and hunger because of this. Reportedly 20 million people will lose access to lifesaving HIV medication & USAID workers predict even more kids will be born HIV-positive now. Experts believe millions could die from Malaria throughout all of Africa. This as over 100,000 refugees in Thailand are losing access to medical care after several hospitals shut down. And it’s unknown just how many Vietnamese kids will step on old U.S. bombs and become victims of a war that ended 50 years ago without USAID’s efforts to eliminate them. Do you know how much was allocated to USAID in the federal budget? 38 billion dollars. Do you know how much this costs you, the taxpayer, every year? About 50 bucks a year… it’s less than 1% of the budget. Elon Musk has called the agency criminal and radical without evidence. But before Elon took down USAID’s website, you could see where every single dollar was going and why. There’s a reason why he took down the site and then began to lie about it… it’s so you couldn’t check. But if I could say something real quick… this isn’t charity or a subsidy.. We do all of this because it’s in our own interests - it fights disease before it gets to our borders, it creates new markets for our goods, and it makes people like America. It’s created unprecedented soft power & has furthered our interests more than any military action, sanctions package, or tariff ever has. The lesson the World War 2 generation learned is that people like helpers, & giving people a helping hand is a great investment. They didn’t do the Marshall Plan because they felt bad for the Germans who were just shooting at them, they did it because they needed a market for their exports — and the end result was that it made America richer and gave us allies. That’s why they created USAID as a bipartisan project. The Myanmar chapter of USAID? Yeah that’s a Mitch McConnell passion project. The HIV and Malaria program? That was President George W Bush. China will now fill the place of the U.S. on the global stage with their belt and road initiative. They’ll pay pennies on the dollar for incredible amounts of goodwill & in 10-20 years… you’ll look back & say when did the world start liking the communists more than us? And it’ll be this very moment. - @philipdefranco
