  1. No one thinks it is new. People do not want to pay for another nation’s contraceptives. 

  2. The Biden admin in a nutshell. Trump does the stupid thing Biden is too timid to reinstate it, or outright agrees with the change. Just like continuing Trump immigration and tariff policies.

  3. This is one of the many items that needs to be cut from the budget.

    The US government is $36 billion in debt, which is more than $100,000 of debt for each US citizen. Why should we add to our debt burden so people in foreign countries can have free condoms?

  4. So where did the $50M number for Palestine come from?

  5. I’d want to see a longer timeline. I bet the peak was Bush Jr. pushing PEPFAR through.

    I also would like to see a breakdown between condoms and actual chemical contraceptives.

    I suspect it is condoms to combat HIV for the most part.

  6. Interesting, it seemed initially an odd fringe theory that the condoms for Gaza spend would be on the books. However this now seems to indicate that this spend (TBD if it’s actually $50M) might well be in the budget.
    Maybe the line item was $50M for a number of countries including Gaza? Doesn’t seem so far fetched now.
