is about USAID. Why did the rest of the world respect the USA in the past? Why are they no longer impressed with us? How much longer can we expect assistance such as this in the future, if, as policy, we have decided to ignore fellow humans in need? Estimates are in the millions for future unnecessary deaths due to the U.S. turning our backs on those less fortunate by cutting USAID support.
