@GaryMarcus Which part? Funding terrorists.

Look into boko Haram in Nigeria. They were receiving funds from USAID. They are not the only one.

Most conflict in Africa or the Middle East.

@GaryMarcus Some will celebrate at this. Imagine one of your family members getting fired during this time of inflation.

USAID was mostly used to fund terrorism around the world, but some were used to do good things.
