USAID was formed in 1961 to counter Soviet efforts to spread communism in the developing world, transition former communist countries into U.S. allies, and respond to global disasters such as earthquakes, epidemics, famine and war refugees. It did so well. But sometime during the Clinton administration, USAID began to promote radical social agendas, such as population control.
Under President Barack Obama, LGBT and climate ideologies were added. President Joe Biden topped it off with transgenderism, requiring that every foreign aid program promote this divisive radical stew, even when it came to food aid to starving refugees.
Institutionally, its political culture would eventually skew far left, purged of conservatives and independents. USAID no longer represented America nor its values, becoming a taxpayer-funded haven for radicals controlled by an industry of global elites composed of former aid officers and officials from past Democratic Party administrations.
In 2020, days after the George Floyd riots, 1,000 USAID staff demanded the agency “affirm Black Lives Matter,” and accused their own agency of “systematic racism.” More recently, another 1,000 USAID officials issued an open letter defying Biden’s Israel policy by demanding “an immediate ceasefire between the State of Israel and Hamas,” which would give the terrorists an opportunity to regroup and kill more Israelis.
Last year, as America began breaking the shackles of DEI orthodoxy, the aid industry doubled down instead. The head of the Society of International Development, an association of aid experts, recommitted to “focusing on DEIA issues.” InterAction, a foreign aid lobby, still pushed its DEI Compact blaming “white supremacy” for racism in international development. Congress rebuked it by blocking it from receiving U.S. government funds.
Meanwhile, USAID burned its bridges to Congress that pays its budget. Agency officials refused scrutiny over its practices. In 2023, Sen. Jodi Ernst, R-Iowa, now Chair of the DOGE Caucus, demanded to know the overhead charges of organizations and companies to see if they were over-charging taxpayers to carry out USAID’s programs.
She was repeatedly stonewalled, and her staff threatened. Eventually she found that half of aid funds was spent on overhead. A government audit the following year found that USAID could not account for overhead charges of over $142.5 billion in awards. Foreign aid became a massive financial boon for progressives as ordinary Americans struggled to pay their bills.
