Ivanka Trump will be heading up the White House’s newest initiative to pull 50 million women from the developing world out of poverty by spending $50 million. For those who know math, this amounts to $1 per woman. The White House swears that other government agencies are going to chip in money to up that total, but right now none of them have stepped up, leaving the total at just a dollar per woman. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Last thursday, the White House, actually Ivanka trump in an op Ed for the Wall Street Journal, uh, but they announced this new women's global development and prosperity initiative and in her op-ed, Ivanka trump said that the goal of this is to invest in the greatest resource we have here on planet earth and that is young spirited women in developing countries who want to go out and start their own businesses and in order to help what she claims is roughly $50 million women, she's going to have the government spend $50,000,000. Now, when this was announced, it did not get the play that it deserved, but everybody immediately noticed that if you're going to spend $50, million dollars to help 50 million women, that that is a one to one ratio. Meaning that you're literally spending $1 per woman. One dollar is what Ivanka trump is offering women around the globe to get yourself out of poverty.
Go Start Your Business, get a better education, have better opportunities. You get a dollar from Ivanka trump's new pet project, but don't worry because the White House immediately came out later after they realized how horrible Ivanka was at math. It said, no, no, no. That's just the money being pledged right now from the USAID office. This has been budgeted for this, but other government agencies are also going to kick in money, you know, from their budgets and so far none of them have and none of them have indicated that they have that, but, but don't worry it's totally going to be more than $50 million. In fact, they say that it could be as much as 300 million. Well, I guess that's better because that math would work out to $6 per women. So as long as the only thing holding all of these women back was one trip to Mcdonald's to get a value meal, then I guess we're okay.
