Over the last several days, the Trump administration’s move to strip USAID of its independence and be rolled into the State Department has been well-telegraphed with leaks and reports via media outlets.
If USAID is rolled into the State Department, Marco Rubio will ensure grant scrutiny, preventing taxpayer funds from being stuffed into the coffers of the Deep State. And this will ultimately mark a historic shift in America’s role in the world.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I hope this adage is not true on this matter, but passing it off to Rubio does not bode well. I remain optimistic, nonetheless. ABN
