Ron Paul Wants Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy-Led DOGE To Eliminate This Program Of 'Immoral Transfer Of Wealth'

Ron Paul, a former U.S. Congressman, has an "easy" suggestion for Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-lead Vivek Ramaswamy.

What Happened: Paul urged the elimination of foreign aid, highlighting its economic and moral implications.

In a post on X on Saturday, Paul criticized the practice of redirecting funds from American citizens to affluent individuals in poorer nations.

Paul emphasized that foreign aid involves taking money from the U.S. poor and middle class and channeling it to wealthy entities abroad, with intermediaries benefiting in the process. He argued that this practice is not only economically detrimental but also morally questionable and unconstitutional.

Cut the funds to Ukraine without saying Ukraine.

Paul has only one note in Putin’s orchestra. He’s become hardly relevant.

Because that happens. Not.

Tax breaks for the wealthy takes money away from helping the middle class and the poor, but let's all pretend it doesn't.

Not that people like Paul would do anything to help the middle class or the poor even if tax breaks for the wealthy didn't happen.
