I doubt that is the aim of the DOGE, and USAID will continue under another guise. If by weaken, you mean consolidate the empire then yes but presently the the waning hegemon sees war as it's only recourse to continuing prosperity for the elite classes.

As Alexis de Tocqueville foresaw in the 1830s, American democracy would inevitably lead to a massive permanent state, impervious to the will of the people:

"The democratic tendency leads men unceasingly to multiply the privileges of the state and to circumscribe the rights of private persons. Often sacrificed without regret and almost always violated without remorse men become less and less attached to private rights just when it is most necessary to retain and defend what little remains of them. After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp, and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd.The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting: such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to be nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd."

Sad but true. I'm glad to have lived when and where I live. A true blessing. I fear for the future freedom for most of us. What the middle class needs to think about with the rise of AI is when the middle class can not be exploited by the rich and powerful why have a middle class at all.
 
Every car dealer near us is sitting on tons of inventory. It's already showing. Fat Donnie told them what he was going to do. Did they not believe him because he lies so much. If the GOP actually did what they wanted they'd f**k 99% of the people who voted for them.

Look everyone all of this including the peace corps sometimes is a front for CIA access. They give away stuff, make friends and become informed. The CIA is our first line of defense. This makes us weaker. It's like an intentional move to weaken us, just like Tulsi Gabbard.

Defense against what, exactly? The US has created it's own problems, thanks to the CIA, and now no one knows how to make the problems stop being problems. Doing more of things that are proven to fail is insane. You don't kill an idea by killing people, and you don't take the land away from people whose families have lived there for 5,000 years. to quote Princess Leia... ' The more you tighten your grip, TRUMP, the more Nations will slip through your fingers.'
