It might be easier to keep a list of who in the Establishment DOESN'T get USAID funding than those who do.

As everybody in the Elite screams from the top of their lungs about the injustice of it all, it turns out that cuts to USAID are so offensive to them because USAID is nothing but a piggy bank for every damn one of them.

The latest group of whiners who claim that cutting foreign aid is unconstitutional or a dire crisis is the American Bar Association.

From what I can gather, about half of the ABA's revenue comes from government grants, including grants from USAID. I had no idea.

How's this for a good look? $114 million from the taxpayers.

Gee, I wonder why the ABA is so opposed to doing a government audit...

There was never any doubt in my mind.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
