One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, internal USAID memos estimated. The programs were cut anyway.

*breaking the law by not spending appropriated money from Congress
*breaking the law by ignoring a court order
*lying about it
*killing people
*silencing public employees who are pointing all of this out
