This simple yet powerful statement underscores the reality of Washington’s corrupt spending machine. While American taxpayers face economic hardship, their money is being siphoned into a political slush fund that props up liberal media and leftist political movements worldwide.
Sacks went further, exposing some of the biggest beneficiaries of this taxpayer-funded scheme:
“New York Times, getting paid. Politico, getting paid. Bill Kristol, perennial warmonger, getting paid. Ukraine, like 11 out of 12 publications, getting paid. Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, was saying his political opposition is funded by USAID.”
The implications are staggering. American tax dollars are not just staying within U.S. borders—they are funding leftist opposition movements in countries like Hungary and Poland. Even major international outlets like the BBC are reportedly benefiting from this multi-billion-dollar pipeline.
Sacks did the math, revealing just how much cash is flowing through USAID’s hands:
“In Poland, the left-wing political opposition is funded by USAID. BBC in the U.K. Every left-wing organization in the world seems to be getting paid by this slush fund at USAID, which distributes $50 billion a year. That’s a billion dollars a week. That’s a lot of money.”
The staggering $50 billion annual budget essentially serves as a global ATM for left-wing causes, influencing elections and shaping narratives under the guise of humanitarian aid. But in reality, this isn’t about helping people—it’s about power and control.
Perhaps the most damning aspect of this scheme is how it creates a false perception of left-wing support worldwide. As Sacks put it:
“It makes you wonder. The left, in general, tries to portray itself as a movement of the people. That it’s grassroots, this is the exact opposite. This is astroturf. This money is coming from the top down out of Washington to fund all these groups all over the world. So it makes you wonder, what is the real level of local support for these left-wing policies all over the world?”

This revelation pulls the mask off the left’s carefully curated image of being a people-driven movement. Instead, it exposes a calculated effort by global elites to push an agenda using American taxpayers’ money.
This scandal is just starting to unfold, and with watchdogs like DOGE bringing more evidence to light, the left’s carefully constructed financial empire is beginning to crumble. While progressives panic over these revelations, their outrage won’t change the facts. The American people are waking up, and the jig is up.
