We are celebrating the rare program eliminations in the $9 billion rescission bill.

Meanwhile, the swamp groups aren’t letting up in their predictions of doom, pestilence, disease, hunger, war, and death if they don’t get their money.  Their yelps of protest sound like a parody. But we’re not making this up – they are.

Washington, DC – “In a letter sent to Congress, leading anti-hunger, anti-poverty, environmental, faith-based, gender equality, global health, humanitarian aid, human rights, peacebuilding and refugee agencies urged Members to “oppose the rescission of any foreign assistance funds related to urgent human needs, including food, medical and humanitarian aid, and to global stability and resilience, such as peacebuilding, poverty-focused development assistance, climate resilience and good governance.”

“Congressional approval for these cuts will result in otherwise preventable deaths, the spread of infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance, and increased global poverty, instability and violence.”

Of course, the letter conveniently fails to mention that most of these signatory groups are the parasitic recipients of these billions of taxpayer dollars that line their pockets, but have done nothing to bring actual development to poor nations.
