Chris takes aim at claims that USAID funding cuts have caused widespread deaths, demanding evidence and accountability instead of headline-grabbing numbers. He argues that too much taxpayer money is consumed by bureaucracy, consultants, conferences, and administrative overhead rather than reaching the people it's intended to help. Drawing parallels to the nonprofit world, Chris questions how foreign aid dollars are spent, who benefits most from the system, and whether Washington's aid apparatus has become more about sustaining insiders than solving problems.
