The headcount at the independent federal agency prior to DOGE's onslaught was 48, and the average employee salary was $131,000 each year, according to Musk's department.
'The Inter-American Foundation, an agency whose primary action was to issue federal grants ($60million budget), has been reduced to its statutory minimum (1 active employee),' DOGE posted to its X account on Tuesday ahead of Trump's Address to the Joint Congress.
The agency was created by Congress in 1969 to issue grants to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean for 'localized community-led development,' according to its now defunct website.
Yeah, fuck that. That's not where our money should go. Deserved to be shut down for sure.
Again demonstrating your complete lack of empathy, and promoting the lack of soft power in the US. Congrats. You played yourself lol

You're right, had you not posted it!
But I did post it. And I will continue to post more. In fact, I have just now! And you can't stop me
Nope, almost as if I wasn't fascist. But some people government officials banning news orgs from the government because they don't like what they say IS fascist
So you mean like you do when someone posts about trump and you think they should get banned. Hmmm... you sound fascist to me
Oh! I've banned you? I think you should be banned? Really! When? Where?
Oh so you don't think I should be banned then?
Now now, you first. Show me where I said you should be banned. You said that is what i said, so show me.
So are you saying I shouldn't be banned then?
