I didn't know Pakistan had gender studies.

They have it but someone else pays for it?

At the request of the White House, $10 million was included in the spending bill attached to the last COVID relief bill.

Honestly, I think someone slipped it in there to see if Trump even looked at it.

"Here, sir, sign this."
"What is it?"
"What you want to spend money on."
"Ah, great. There's money for my wall?"
"Oh, sure."
"Get my pen. The huge one."

Lindsay Graham approves, but Lara Trump does not.

Appearing on Fox News, Senator Graham justified the move.
"Pakistan is a place I really worry about. Eighty-five countries a woman can't open up a bank account without her husband's signature. She can't inherit property. If you're a young girl in Pakistan life is pretty tough. So we're trying to make life better for women throughout the world," he said.
Lara, in an interview to Fox News, expressed her outrage at such provisions in the bill that has been passed by the Congress, which among other things gives USD 600 per citizens as part of the COVID-19 relief package.
"USD 1.4 billion to Asia Reassurance Initiative Act. I don't even think anybody knows what that is. The USD 10 million to gender studies in Pakistan. USD 700 million to Sudan. How does that help Americans? How does that help us get out of this? And I think it's very frustrating to people all around this country. I think they're really glad to get the USD 600, but they probably could have gotten a lot more if we weren't giving so much money away," she said.
Congressman Chip Ry, who opposed the bill said: "it throws billions at foreign aid, including gender programs in Pakistan to the tune of USD 10 million."
The bill doubles down on many failed Democrat policies, giving special interests billions of dollars in perks, while giving fellow Americans a paltry payment of only USD 600, said Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz.

Now I get the meme!
