DOGE slashes entire government agency with average salary of $131,000 a year to just ONE staff member
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency completely eviscerated the Inter-American Foundation, leaving it with just one Trump-appointed employee, Peter Marocco.
The headcount at the independent federal agency prior to DOGE's onslaught was 48, and the average employee salary was $131,000 each year, according to Musk's department.
'The Inter-American Foundation, an agency whose primary action was to issue federal grants ($60million budget), has been reduced to its statutory minimum (1 active employee),' DOGE posted to its X account on Tuesday ahead of Trump's Address to the Joint Congress.
The agency was created by Congress in 1969 to issue grants to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean for 'localized community-led development,' according to its now defunct website.
Yeah, fuck that. That's not where our money should go. Deserved to be shut down for sure.
