USAID has long been plagued by waste, corruption, and covert political meddling; the biggest scandal may be how little scrutiny it has faced, until now.

    Sorry can’t get myself in a tizzy over the tiny amount of money we spend helping people over the gazillions we spend killing them.

    Stupid article.

        It’s less than 1% of the military budget alone. It’s less than 0.0001% of the US’s annual expenditures.

        Yeah, obviously we should have nationalized healthcare, but USAID is not what’s keeping that from being a reality. It’s insurance company lobbying, and propaganda against it, among other things.
