In a shocking revelation, Senator Joni Ernst has uncovered significant issues within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). According to Ernst, USAID has been involved in massive waste of taxpayer money and has used intimidation tactics to avoid accountability.
Senator Ernst and her team began investigating USAID’s finances and were met with threats and denied access to key databases. This raises serious questions about why a government agency would hide from oversight. Ernst discovered that USAID originally claimed 30-40% of its budget went to “overhead” expenses, including rent, salaries, and entertainment. However, the real number is actually 50-60%, meaning over half of its funding never reaches the aid programs it is supposed to support.
This revelation has significant implications for taxpayers. Instead of helping people, USAID appears to be funneling billions into bloated bureaucracy and lavish perks. Americans deserve answers about where their money is really going.
The investigation also highlights the need for a full audit of USAID. Why is a federal agency using intimidation tactics to avoid accountability? And why aren’t more people talking about this issue?
