DOGE and the Terrible Waste of US Tax Dollars

DOGE published some of the waste politicians decided was a good use of our tax dollars. They are terrible stewards of our money.

US taxpayer dollars were going to be spent on the following items. They are all cancelled:

• $10M for “Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcision”
• $9.7M for UC Berkeley to develop “a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise-driven skills.”
• $2.3M for “strengthening independent voices in Cambodia”
• $32M to the Prague Civil Society Centre
• $40M for “gender equality and women empowerment hub”
• $14M for “improving public procurement” in Serbia
• $486M to the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening,” including
• $22M for “inclusive and participatory political process” in Moldova and $21M for voter turnout in India
• $29M to “strengthening political landscape in Bangladesh”
• $20M for “fiscal federalism” in Nepal
• $19M for “biodiversity conversation” in Nepal
• $1.5M for “voter confidence” in Liberia
• $14M for “social cohesion” in Mali
• $2.5M for “inclusive democracies in Southern Africa”
• $47M for “improving learning outcomes in Asia”
• $2M to develop “sustainable recycling models” to “increase socio-economic cohesion among marginalized communities of Kosovo Roma, Ashkali, and Egypt”

How many of these grants were being spent on things other than what they designated for?
