Treatment trials for thousands of ill, including kids, halted due to USAID shutdown

[goldmom]

Cool - we will put you down as in favor of kids dying of malaria and aids. Nice character.

If only those at USAID were dedicated enough to allocate all of that $40Billion plus budget to doing good things like treating disease, addressing hunger, and providing real solutions to these problems instead of putting on plays in Ireland or promoting tourism to Lebanon…what a display of true character that would be.

That churchgoing of yours is doing wonders.

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

Just like you and your trans bigotry. Whop up the rubes with lies about trans predators in girls sports with no regard for the truth.

Yeah, just like that.

I’m not in favor of it. Their parents and their nations’ governments really should do something about it.

Hell yes.

And yet the guy that is questioning the reasons for the exponential increase in allergies is universally opposed by the left.

Link? Then how does that address being ripped off by pharmaceutical companies in the US?

Did you hear that from the little lying blonde cross lady, also?

Honest question...if we stop paying for all sorts of overseas programs, what are we doing with the money we are saving?

If it's on any of the nazi news networks, it has to true, doesn't it? Or at least in minds of the feeble minded and corrupt pieces of shit known as magats.

Duh. Take breaks for billionaires.

Paying bills we need to pay...

Honest answer - Trump and his billionaire buddies will take that money.

What's not going into the pockets of trump and musk will be going to russia. They need to the help to continue their oppression.

Whenever you need to dramatize something, use the words "kids" or "child".

Ironic

Is Jordan unable to feed their own people? Why is that?

 

[torbee]

Paying bills we need to pay...

Nope.

Tax cuts that will run up the debt.

LITERALLY what they discussed yesterday in a meeting with Congress.

In a closed-door meeting with House Leadership today President Trump reportedly outlined his tax priorities. According to press reports, they included extending the expiring pieces of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA); expanding the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction; enacting tax breaks for goods made in America; cutting taxes on income from tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits; and eliminating tax breaks for carried interest and stadium owners.
Depending on the details of these proposals, our rough estimate is that a package of this nature would:

• Reduce revenue by $5.0 trillion to $11.2 trillion over ten years.
• Lower revenue by 1.3 to 3.0 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
• Boost debt to between 132 and 149 percent of GDP by 2035, if not offset, compared to nearly 100 percent today and 118 percent under current law.

Honestly, we would respect you more if you just admitted you are OK with kids dying in exchange for a tax break, regardless of its impact on the U.S. debt. Just lean into it and stop lying to others and perhaps yourself.

Trump met with congressional leaders yesterday and the plan is to INCREASE the debt to fund tax cuts.

As usual, the usual suspects are abjectly clueless because they don't pay attention to real news.'

Why didn’t Marco Rubio stop this rampant fraud and waste while he had the chance as a senator, instead of backing the fraud and waste?

 

[luvmyhawks]

What's the ROI on millions of dollars for transgender acceptance in Muslim countries?


At some point you guys are going to have to quit playing stupid.


You're attempting to justify millions ( or more over time) of dollars in fraud due to 1000 people on a rock that holds 4.6 billion people.

Huh? Are you referring to earth as the rock? If so, you might want to check those numbers.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Cool - we will put you down as in favor of kids dying of malaria and aids. Nice character.

I like how you can so easily blame Trump because he stopped this program or any other program while they investigate it. Shouldn’t you be just as upset with previous leaders for allowing money to be wasted on useless programs causing this temporary shutdown? In my mind, you should be more upset at the people that cheated the system and tax payers. Not the people trying to fix the problem. I would guess you’re the type of person that puts a ton of bandaids on something instead of fixing the problem.

Why did Sleepy Chuck and Breadbags let this rampant fraud and waste occur? Where was MMM and News Barbie? Why did Trump let so much waste happen from 2017-2020?

Tbf, while that would not be good for the debt at all, that is not a proposal for the rich. Would the rich benefit from it? Sure. But so would a lot of not rich people.

The USA is not the parent of the world. Let's fix our problems here first before we worry about the breastfeeders of Jordan.

Did you miss the part about testing new medical therapies? You know, collecting data that can be used to approve treatment here?

 

[ericram]

Or the 30 people that will die in america tonight due to food/shelter issues.

That's hilarious. You think those people running the show give a shit.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Exactly. Why haven’t previous leaders done something before now. Why was Trump allowing funding to educate other countries about transgender and putting on plays for them during his first presidency

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

That's hilarious. You think those people running the show give a shit.

Give a shit? No. But I'm also not the one trying to knight for why their dirty laundry shouldn't be looked at.


You guys are going to have to pick a side of the fence. Are politicians assholes or not? Or is it just the Republicans that are assholes?

 

[McLovin32]

Cool- I'll put you down as someone who has no reasoning skills.

This is AMAZING coming from someone that thinks the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

 

[Rifler]

I would venture to say that most of our previous leaders had little understanding of just how poorly some of this money was actually being spent,.. The others who actually knew, were complicit...

www.history.com

Interesting reading. The French and English definitely made a mess of things. The US was for self determination and condemned this agreement once it became public. Dividing spheres on influence once the ottoman empire was defeated in ww1 in the region. The arab world by the way had agreed to help the British against the ottomans in ww1 so they could secure an Arab state. There were disagreements at this time as well as where the jews would reside during these secret discussions. The same exact issue facing the region today. The Arabs didn't want the jews anywhere while the British had indicated the need for a space for jews. The Arabs hated the ottomans as well and this agreement you linked really didn't have much to do with change other than a transfer of power from the ottomans to the British and French. A betrayal for sure of the Arabs.

Not sure what that has to do with why Jordan can't feed it's own people other than they do not have the resources of their neighbors and have little offer to the international community that would attract jobs. I would not though that the group identified as Palestinians had a presence in Jordan when Israel was established. The kingdom of Jordan was in essence established at the same time as Israel. There are zero Palestinians that exist in Jordan now. They tried to overthrow Jordan and Jordan ended them.

A made up "nation" that is less than 150 years old cobbled together from a failed, defeated empire and used as a pawn since then by great powers is not going to typically have a robust and successful economy.

Not a complicated concept.

You STILL aren't tired of embarassing yourself and being the subject of ridicule? Good Lord., have some self-respect. 😂

 

[TennNole17]

Speaking of that, my friend's adult son, who has health insurance, has an allergy med he has to take that, after insurance, will cost him $1000 a month out of pocket. I bet Canada can't wait for Trump to take us over so they can have that kind of health care. We get ripped off every day by the healthcare industry and we have half the country saying thank you.

What allergy medicine is $1000/month out of pocket?

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

You think allowing politicians to hide under 1000 medical trials as a way of funneling millions to themselves is an example of "self respect"?
