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.

What the country do not need, real time lean manufacturing model, example is the unending funding to war zones that's not yielding the desired results, excessive pentagon spending etc

I’m fine cutting excess as long as it doesn’t result in a giant tax cut for the top wage earners. Would love to see it translate into a universal basic income.

I actually am a believer in taxing the rich, I'm all for cutting unnecessary spending tho and vetting and cutting aids to many countries where the past aids failed to gain traction
