  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Beleaguered Staffers Podcast, Keith Conrad, Laura Finch, and Sean Magers discuss the abrupt shutdown of USAID and the chaotic approach of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). They explore how foreign aid cuts could lead to a resurgence of global crises, destabilization, and unintended consequences. The conversation highlights the flawed logic behind slashing entire agencies without a plan, the spread of misinformation about government spending, and how a more responsible zero-based budgeting approach could have been a better alternative. With USAID as the first casualty, they speculate on what—and who—might be next.
