Why are my tax dollars going to foreign healthcare, education, and food banks when we could definitely use that here?

He did nothing. He was an advisor to the president, and his team made reccomendations. Also, there is a GAO that has reviewed all canceled contracts. All of the recipients had the right to protest... unfortunately, most of the NGO's simply had to show up to court to get the contracts back, but they didn't because it was obvious fraud.

And, that grok part? What is all that about? Any AI, can do all of those things? Spending on election interference? So all money donated to political orgs are election interference?

The reasons you seem to hate him, all seem like good things to me?

I somewhat agree. You vote for universal healthcare, or against it?

Either way, addressing communicable diseases in far away places also helps keep them from becoming nearby diseases. It's far cheaper to fund some vaccines in a far away land than deal with widespread disease domestically. And in the end, cutting these things did practically nothing for the deficit. It was a rounding error of spending to save so many lives around the world.

And they want to argue they're instituting a "Christian" nation. How about following His red text words?

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
