unhappycamper summary of this article: It is what it is: Afghanistan. USAID is complaining about (maybe) not be able to spend $4.2 billion dollars in Afghanistan.
No problem! Just send the money to Detroit or Chicago or NYC or LA or Boston or any majer city in the United States. They will be happy to use it for things like libraries, roads, firemen, policemen and teacher salaries, food stamps, education, etc. etc.
