It literally feels like this is what happened:
Elon Musk went into these programs, saw that 1.5 million was spent on a program, then he traces the program to where things were spent and...OH MY GOD there it is! 1.5 million! Unbelievable right where they said it was! It's fraud! This is crazy!
This is all just proving that MAGA is so simple and stupid and doesn't understand how the world works that they don't think soft power is a thing... Soft power is just extending influence so that you don't have to resort to HARD power which is much more expensive but they understand hard power and how it works but that doesn't mean it's a better option to stabilize things. They just see America as being this strong nation but that's BECAUSE we don't have to fucking use our military all of the fucking time and can instead spend our money in CHEAPER ways to stabilize regions where we have interests.
1. [[$2 million for Moroccan pottery classes]]
2. [[$2 million promoting tourism to Lebanon]]
3. [[$20 million for a Sesame Street show in Iraq]]
4. [[Sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week]]
5. [[$1.5 million for DEI in Serbia]]
6. [[$70,000 for DEl musical in Ireland]]
7. [[$47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia]]
8. [[$32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru]]
9. [[$2 million for sex changes in Guatemala]]
10. [[$6 million for tourism in Egypt]]
11. [[$1 million to help disabled people in Tajikistan become climate leaders]]
12. [[$15 million for contraceptives and condoms in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan]]
The total cost per U.S. taxpayer for all these programs combined is **$0.26482** over **18 years** or 1.47 cents a year.
The crazy part about this is that if we were to spend that money here, Republicans would reject it because it's ☠️SOCIALISM☠️
