What in the below are you ticked off the taxpayer money is no longer being spent on? I just pulled some random stuff reported today. The US government credit card is maxxed out. Clinton did a bunch of this when he first came into office. He also fired 350,000 federal employees also. Why because it was the right thing to do. This is not a partisan issue. Also why are you for dead people getting SSI and small business loans?

Department of Government Efficiency
@DOGE
Great work today by @USDOL @SecretaryLCD @Sonderling47 cancelling $577M in “America Last” grants for $237M in savings, including:
- $10M for "gender equity in the Mexican workplace"
- $12.2M for "worker empowerment in South America"
- $6.25M for "improving respect for Worker's

Dead people should not get SSI or small business loans. 
How many of cases of this were found? How many fraudulent payments went out? What were the sums? Did anyone besides DOGE confirm that indeed this happened?

As for these grants that were canceled, promoting left-ish values in Latin America, I don't really care either way. I would rather tax payer money wasn't spent on that kind of thing, but the amount seems small, it looks like a program that was maybe matching funds, so private sources of money probably or being given away in addition to the public money. If we're going to promote free trade with places in Latin America, we also have to promote our values. If we have labor unions they should have unions too. If we're going to slap them with tariffs regardless, then who cares.  I would rather promote free trade and promote our values, because I know that brings consumer prices down, but you guys voted for the opposite, so may you find out what it's like to get what you want in this area.

Well, you know google is your friend a couple articles to help you out since your memory seems to be a one way street. This is an ongoing probe, more to come!  Your welcome.

As for free trade if it is a two way street then agreed. If we are the only one allowing access while the other country doesn't then only a fool would participate.
