USAID= .5% of fed budget. Americans spend more on bubblegum than on aid. ROI in terms of power projection, soft power & institution shaping— never mind lives saved/societies rebuilt— makes it one of smartest things US does.

And every dollar we spend on USAID saves us $100 wasted on defense contractors

Also. . .they misspelled public” 😳

Ditto!!
