Btw, if exposing corruption involves giving unelected billionnaires the opportunity to close down government agencies that monitored their business activities, involves giving them access to the personal data of every citizen, and allows them to shut down the funding and flow of information that keeps people alive, then maybe their definition of corruption is not quite the same as ours.
If you are referring to DOGE, then they are doing just that monitoring the business activities that runs deep within the US govt.
USAID is one such example of the corruption. Glad to see it go, none of that stuff benefited the american people, like paying for transgender surgery in other countries, meanwhile they dont even fund a health system in their own country.
No wonder they got into 36 trillion dollars worth of debt.

Actually, the biggest beneficiary of 'aid' from the coffers of the US taxation system are those very few billionaires at the very top. Their take beats the hell out of any other beneficiary in or out of America. USAID's budget is here -

Now, you tell me where the corruption is. And continues to be?

It does rather seem to be at the top, doesn't it. Unbridled greed is an ugly thing.
