An Open Letter To:
Senator Elizabeth Warren
Senator Chuck Schumer
And the other members in Congress who are freaking out because Trump is identifying questionable spending of taxpayer wealth around the world
Many of you are having fits because Trump, via DOGE, is identifying how billions of taxpayer dollars are being paid out on some very questionable projects around the world. You were silent when the money was being spent but somehow you all now find it offensive that Trump is bringing to light where and what our tax dollars are being spent on, a basic right that we should have since we paid for these expenses and projects.
Let’s look at some of these expenditures and find out if we have the same priorities relative to how these taxpayer dollars are being spent:
If you thought it was a better idea to spend $20 million on a “Sesame Street production in IRAQ” then to help out Patterson High School in Baltimore where over 75% of their high school students are performing at elementary school levels in math and reading and about a third of those students are performing at no higher than second grade level in math and reading, then you and I have different priorities.
If you thought it was a better idea to spend $5.5 million on “LGBT issues in UGANDA” then to help out schools in Chicago where about 75% of Chicago Public School students could not read at grade level and 83% could not function in math at grade level, then you and I have different priorities.
If you thought it was a better idea to spend $4.5 million to “combat misinformation is Kazakhstan” then to fix the reality that American kids perform far below the kids in dozens of other nations when it comes to standardized tests (as administered by The Program for International Student Assessment), then you and I have different priorities.
If you thought it was a better idea to spend $3.9 million for “LGBT causes in the western BALKANS” then to provide safe shelter for our 770,000 homeless Americans, then you and I have different priorities.
If you thought it was a better idea to spend $2,1 million to help the BBC “value the diversity of LIBYAN society” then to help the 47 million Americans that are having trouble feeding themselves and their families, living in “food insecure households,” then you and I have different priorities.
If you thought it was a better idea to spend $6.0 million for tourism in EGYPT then to help the over 100,000 Ameircans who overdose and die every year because they could not get medical help to help them overcome drug addiction, then you and I have different priorities.
If you thought it waa a better idea to spend $2 million to fund sex change operations in GUATEMALA then help the 26 million Ameircans who cannot afford health insurance for their families, then you and I have different priorities.
If you thought it was a better idea to spend $7.9 million for a project that “would teach SRI LANKAN journalists how to avoid binary gendered language” then to fix the Social Security and Medicare programs that are hurtling towards financial insolvency, then you and I have different priorities.
If you thought it was a better idea to spend $1.5 million to “rebuild the CUBAN media ecosystem,” then to provide additional funding in cities across the country suffering from skyrocketing crime rates, then you and I have different priorities.
Of course, there is no right or wrong answer, just different priorities. But apparently, I think it is better to spend billions of valuable taxpayer dollars helping out our families, neighbors and communities in need while you folks think it is a better idea to spread our limited tax dollars around the world, from Egypt to Uganda to Vietnam to Cuba and to dozens of other countries around the world on projects that seem quite inane.
And I find your priorities despicable, shallow, and disgusting.
