The media is trying to push outrage over USAID foreign aid cuts by claiming that the food is going bad.
Food that could feed 3.5 million people for a month has reportedly been left to rot in warehouses across the world because of USAID cuts.
Around 60,000 metric tons of supplies meant for regions such as Gaza and Sudan are stuck in warehouses in Houston, Djibouti, Durban and Dubai, according to aid agency sources.
It comes after US president Donald Trump cut funding to the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in January.
Some stocks are due to expire as early as July and will likely to be destroyed or used as animal feed, the sources told Reuters.
The warehouses are run by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), while the food is sourced from US farmers and manufacturers they said.
The supplies are worth more than $98 million, according to a document reviewed by Reuters, which was shared by an aid official and verified by a US government source as up to date.
Why not use that food to feed Americans instead of feeding America’s enemies?
The food warehoused in Houston should be easiest to reappropriate to aid Americans? The food already in the Middle East may not be worth the cost of transportation, but it’s worth looking into. Even if the food isn’t worth shipping back to the United States, it could always be resold on the open market.
The one thing that should not be done with the food is sending it to Gaza or other enemy regions.
And USAID needs to be shut down.
Foreign leftists expect the USA Taxpayer to feed the world.
Foreign and domestic ALTRUISTS expect the US taxpayer to feed the world.
After all, what would Jesus do? He would offer himself up as a meal to cannibals. Jesus was the complete altruist offering himself up as the perfect sacrifice for undeserving sinners. Jesus was a Shmoo and we’re all told he is the perfect man to emulate as closely as possible.
Almost every American feels guilty for not sacrificing enough of himself to others. Americans are told every minute of the day don’t be so selfish, the good man sacrifices himself for others.
One thing we don’t have in the U.S. is a shortage of food.
Not yet but the altruists want to get us there.
Thank you greedy and selfish capitalism!
Three cheers for GREED and SELFISHNESS, Americans want to live. Americans want to flourish. Americans want to pursue and achieve their personal and individual happiness, here on earth while they are still alive, not in the grave.
“Thanksgiving is a typically American holiday. In spite of its religious form (giving thanks to God for a good harvest), its essential, secular meaning is a celebration of successful production. It is a producers’ holiday. The lavish meal is a symbol of the fact that abundant consumption is the result and reward of production. Abundance is (or was and ought to be) America’s pride—just as it is the pride of American parents that their children need never know starvation.” – Ayn Rand
“Americans want to pursue and achieve their personal and individual happiness, here on earth while they are still alive, not in the grave.”
Oh? And YOU would be…?
So when would you prefer for us to “pursue happiness”, AFTER we’re “in the grave”?
Jeez….WTF?
Simple answer: follow the money. It would come as no surprise to learn that politicians on both sides of the aisle get kickbacks for doling out American tax payers money.
Moreover, anyone who thinks that this is only a one side of the political aisle problem is a naive fool with a child’s understanding of politics.
This is happening because the distribution decisions were made by xiden’s government, which hates America.
Houston?
Where are the other USAID warehouses?
ARe they in other places than Middle East? Why only the Middle East? Why no Africa? India?
How many in USA?
