To abolish the United States Agency for International Development.

Summary of Bill HR 1029
If passed, this bill would effectively dissolve USAID and transfer its functions and responsibilities to other government agencies, such as the Department of State or the Department of Defense. Proponents of the bill argue that USAID is redundant and inefficient, and that its functions could be better carried out by other agencies.
Opponents of the bill, however, argue that USAID plays a crucial role in promoting global development, providing humanitarian assistance, and advancing US foreign policy interests. They believe that abolishing USAID would weaken US influence and leadership on the world stage, and could have negative consequences for vulnerable populations in developing countries. Overall, the fate of Bill 119 HR 1029 remains uncertain, as it is still in the early stages of the legislative process. It will be important to closely monitor the progress of this bill and the debates surrounding it in order to fully understand its potential impact on US foreign aid and development efforts.
Congressional Summary of HR 1029

The bill also (1) rescinds the unobligated balances of any funds made available to USAID prior to enactment, and (2) transfers any USAID assets or liabilities to the Department of State.

I don't care about this bill to get rid of that thing. It's about time they did something about it. It's just a waste of money and doesn't do anything for us here in the US. I heard that it's been around for way too long and it's time to say goodbye. Good riddance! #notneeded Did you know that this bill has been in the works for years?
