If they stole one nickel we will find it.

Exactly right. These freeloaders have been ripping off the American taxpayers for decades, and they’ve been doing everything possible to ENCOURAGE people in other countries to do likewise. A pox on all of ‘em!

How much of that money flowing out actually went to worthwhile causes? Imagine that money helping Americans like in Maui, North Carolina and Palestine (Ohio).

AP is pretending that the rest of the world isn’t hearing a thing about what USAID was really up to. A desperation play like this could really cost them. :-)
