USAID Spends $89.7 Million Finding Jobs for 55 Afghan Women

That makes sense. Afghanistan has been a money pit for the USA for nearly two decades. Why stop now? It’s only the taxpayer’s money. Who cares?

For some reason our government is involved in social planning “gender equity” efforts on the other side of the globe. That’s totally cool and well within the roll of government. Again, it’s only YOUR money. It looks like it’s being well spent and not getting taken by cronies like other foreign aid often is.
