Reflections

By @DataRepublican on X

Reflections: 

Several months ago, I started a website to search federal awards. 

The idea here was we'd find general waste, cut spending, execute on a vision of smaller government. And there's certainly a lot of bloat.  

However, what started out as waste-cutting quickly morphed into understanding why so much money is leaving the federal government and going into NGOs. These NGOs have been responsible for trafficking 20 million illegal immigrants into our country during the Biden years, many of them receiving benefits. 

And many of these NGOs also are the primary beneficiaries of foreign aid. 

And then I dig deeper.
