Among the greatest early accomplishments of the second Trump Administration was the shuttering of USAID. It\u2019s great in part because it\u2019s saving billions previously supposedly spent on trans camel surgeries in the third-world, but also because it has shut down innumerable Democrat NGOs and non-profits, including the Democrat National Committee, which, within a month, went broke and had to borrow millions just to keep the lights on. \u00a0<\/p>

It seems USAID\u2019s money\u2014taxpayer money\u2014wasn\u2019t just spent on bizarre, leftist boondoggles overseas. It largely funded the Democrat Party and their cronies in America.\u00a0\u00a0Smart, that Trump guy.<\/p>\n

A recent, tear-drenched New York Times article spoke of the tragedy of six-figure government employees, now out of a job and unable to find work due to the cruelty of Trump:<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the subtitle:<\/p>\n

\n

“People have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers estimate that less than half have found full-time work.” Why, it’s almost as if no one would hire them to ply their trade, so they must force taxpayers to subsidize it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s one of the sob stories:<\/p>\n

\n

She was fired by email while on maternity leave, given 24 hours to clear out her desk and left with three days of health insurance and no severance pay. She had worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development or related groups for more than two decades. She made $175,000 a year.<\/p>\n

That was Jan. 28, 2025. Today Amy Uccello and her husband, who also lost his job when U.S.A.I.D. funding for his nonprofit dried up, rely on food stamps, Medicaid and a supplemental nutrition program for women and children that helps with their now 19-month-old daughter.<\/p>\n

The mortgage on their home in Washington was until recently in forbearance, meaning they negotiated to pay less than they owed each month. But the bank has now cut them off and suggested they apply for a low-income mortgage program. \u201cWe don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll qualify,\u201d Ms. Uccello said. She and her husband have applied for more than 100 jobs with no luck. Most of their friends don\u2019t have jobs either.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Friends like these:<\/p>\n

\n

“Nearly all of the agency\u2019s 16,000 employees were laid off. An estimated 280,000 contractors, partners and local hires worldwide lost their jobs as well.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not all of them remain unemployed:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI feel guilty, honestly, that of all my colleagues who I know are still unemployed, I\u2019m the one who found something,\u201d said Sara Miner, 42, who was a senior adviser in the agency\u2019s H.I.V.-AIDS office and previously ran health programs in Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Now she helps manage health and human service programs for Fairfax County, Va.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s essentially a suburb of DC, and a subsidiary of The Swamp Inc.\u00a0\u00a0Here\u2019s one more tragic story:<\/p>

\n

\u201cI\u2019m a queer, brown immigrant,” said Adrian Mathura, 55, a Navy veteran and a former senior U.S.A.I.D. adviser in global health who was involuntarily retired last July and is still fighting for the retirement pay he is due. \u201cI got to do all of this incredible stuff in my life and my career, and I spent all of my adult life touting how great the city on the hill was.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, he said, \u201cI never even once imagined I would be so betrayed by my government.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Yeah, and that\u2019s the point. We do no favors to them and certainly not to taxpayers by creating\u00a0high-paying jobs with benefits unavailable in the private sector, which do little but fund the Democrat Party, to people who couldn\u2019t make a fraction of that in jobs that require real abilities, including the ability to produce something truly useful.<\/p>\n

Even bureaucracies not specifically established to enrich Democrats exist to increase their numbers and power, secure in the knowledge the politicians who established them and benefit from them will never shut them down. Until Donald Trump, who was no politician, they were right.<\/p>\n

People of good will can certainly empathize with anyone who, through no fault of their own, loses their job and has difficulty finding another to make ends meet. Many Americans not employed by the government have found themselves in that position:<\/p>\n

People like the up to 59,000 who lost their jobs when Biden\u2019s handlers shut down the Keystone Pipeline, tanking up to $9.6 billion in positive economic impact.\u00a0The usual suspect leftist \u201cfact checkers\u201d labored mightily to deny that, but even the Biden Administration grudgingly admitted the reality.<\/p>\n

Probably, many of the USAID unemployed can\u2019t find jobs because there are no private-sector jobs paying $252,000 for wasting taxpayer money in third-world hell holes. If those are their skills and qualifications, it\u2019s no wonder they\u2019re having a tough time in the job market. Perhaps they can learn to code, or better yet, find a job in the Trump-revived energy sector?\u00a0\u00a0I worked government jobs for 40+ years\u2014policing and teaching\u2014but I absolutely produced.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to hear a great many similar stories about government employees in many agencies losing their jobs as make-work government jobs are eliminated, yet somehow, those remaining agencies become more efficient and cost-effective.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t that what government is supposed to be? Perhaps that should be the real story.<\/p>
