The modern Democrat party has built its political power on promising government solutions to problems that its own policies often perpetuate. The cuts took effect only in 2025, while U.S. taxpayers have funded USAID programs for decades. Did Democrat party politicians convince people that they were so beaten down that they must be permanently nursed by Democrat-passed programs? The Democrat party seems to perpetuate problems and then fool voters into believing those problems can be addressed only through Democrat laws and programs. Yet the available facts show that Democrat influence and control often create the very problems Democrat officials claim only they can fix, whether at home or abroad.
