Peace Corps is a voluntary national service organization. Volunteers. Volunteers. They get paid in local currency amounts based on local economies. It averages about $50 a month. There is no “savings” in eliminating this agency. DO NOT LET THEM TAKE PC. It’s the best of us.
U.S. Peace Corps says Musk's DOGE has arrived at its HQ
Members of Elon Musk's cost-cutting team arrived at Peace Corps headquarters in Washington, the agency told Reuters, a signal it could become the latest U.S. government agency to face job cuts.

For the record, the Peace Corps costs about $400 million out of a federal budget of $1.8 trillion - 0.02% if my math is right. But hey, just ignore the $850 billion DOD budget and target the peace guys for cuts!

The Peace Corps is antithetical to the President's America First policy.
The official policy of the United States is now "We don't do shit for anyone but ourselves."
The unofficial policy is "We don't do shit for 98% of Americans either."

Elon’s teenage hatchet team just walked into the Peace Corps—yes, the agency that sends Americans abroad to build schools, fight disease & empower communities.
Gutting this is not “efficiency,” it’s cruelty. Hands off the Peace Corps, Elon.

Doge eyes cuts to Peace Corps with in-person visit and records access
Agency that sends volunteers to countries around world expects ‘additional visits’ from Musk cost-cutting team
The Peace Corps is the latest federal agency to be targeted by Elon Musk’s unofficial “department of government efficiency”. It appears “Doge” could be eyeing cuts to the agency, which sends US volunteers around the world to work in local communities on health, education and environmental initiatives.
“Staff from the Department of Government Efficiency are currently working at Peace Corps headquarters and the agency is supporting their requests,” the agency said in an email to the Guardian on Friday. Continue reading...
