U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on the 10th March that Washington would slash 83% of its USAID-funded international aid projects. The decision is already having serious repercussions. In southern Mexico, the Swiss NGO, Doctors of the World, has warned it may soon be forced to cease operations, leaving thousands of migrants without critical medical care.

When he calls social security scheme a ‘ponzi scheme’ he is ignoring that giving to these people funnels money to small local businesses as apposed to the one he is in which is the government outsources federal services to people like him.
