DOGE Advisor Ron Paul has announced that one of his recommendations will be to totally ELIMINATE foreign aid.

"It’s taking money from the poor and middle class in the US and giving it to the rich in poor countries  - with a cut to the facilitators in between!"

It's about time… https://t.co/WO9aHg8jiz

Honest thoughts on this?

My general question is if this or any of the DOGE recommendations will actually benefit the poor and middle class. Will we see an expansion of services? Will we see policies that overwhelmingly benefit them?

My guess is it goes to a top heavy tax cut similar to what we’ve seen with the Trump tax cuts.

I believe it's going to benefit them. The aim is to cut excess and use the excess to improve the lives of the common man.

When there's cut in excess, productivity increases.

Can you provide one example that demonstrates what they’re aiming to cut will improve the lives of the lower to middle class? Connect the dots for me.

It's basic lean manufacturing model, cut excess and see productivity rises

As we’ve seen over the past 3 decades, productivity gains do not correlate to wage increases
