The people that, you know, didn't starve or die of communicable diseases because of the efforts of USAID certainly benefitted. As for the libs being upset because they were the only ones "reaping the rewards", that's painting with an awfully wide brush. I'm upset because USAID is a great way to help people in need while extending influence into developing nations. China is quickly taking up the slack. Is that in the US' best interests? DC> ...
