  • Summary

  • $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru.

    $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala.

    Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban

    This sounds like the wishlist of a crazy progressive NGO. But it’s not. These are all grants of US Taxpayer money, made by USAID. The United States Agency for International Development. Over the last week, the Trump Administration has taken steps to rein in such questionable uses of public funds in the federal government. Here to explain what they’re doing and why it matters is David Ditch, Senior Policy Analyst at the Heritage Foundation.
