This is for services already rendered. I agree with the majority in paying them.
FRom now on though, forensic audits on where the USAID money is sent and where it is distributed is a must.
Every penny accounted for as this is how Democrats, and also many Republicans, raise so much money for their campaigns.
It’s redirected back to them and it has to be ended.

Yes you should pay for services but the larger point is why is congress keeping it going
-
I’m willing to fund it if there are tax cuts for all brackets and strict auditing of how these grants are awarded and where the money for each is spent.
I’d have it so any group or NGO awarded USAID money for a project gets an automatic annual IRS audit and take a few thousands middle-class households off the radar.
-
I'm not. USAID has to go. NGOs have to go. No tax dollars. Kill it in congress
We just did the audit.

I think there is a place for a scaled-down version and since it’s going to be funded yet again, as Massie points out, accountability should be the minimum expectation for where the money is spent.
It’s not going away for this year so may as well make it somewhat efficient.

Take it a step further. Business case provided by NGO in advance. Congress should give full discretionary ability to exec branch to evaluate and decide. They already have that, but why not make that 100% clear. This is super easy if we want it to be.

NGO's aren't NGO's if they can't survive without government funding.
-
Ask them to do a front end business case and a backend post mortem as a requirement for any money and they would all go poof.

True and my biggest problem with government funded NGOs is that the people running them are almost 100% hard core leftards. Accountability and responsibility are absent from these people. The dems in Congress don't want accountability or responsibility from the NGOs or the government agencies that distribute the funds so why would you expect NGO employees to be concerned with self-responsibility? What you get is USAID funding an NGO to funnel money to a chicom sub-standard Wuhan biolab to make a bat virus transmittable to humans. From Fow Chee to (at best) the chicom morons running the biolab no one gave a sh*t about what they were doing. Congress sends a $100 million for food aid in Mozambique and you get a few million dollars for food that actually gets to the intended peasants or whatever poor people in Mozambique are called. The rest goes through layers of administrative grift or stolen. Next year the same happens and nothing is ever made better.

Yep. For my NGO, I’ll hire your LLC for some consulting. Then you hire my LLC for some consulting on your NGO. $500k each way. Sound like a good deal?
