There are excellent reasons to believe that aids in africa isn't the same as aids in the western nations. For one thing, they don't use blood tests to identify hiv. they use symptomology. (You got cancer = you got aids.)

But it's not just aids, or foreign aid. It's an out of control budget in the first place. Someone correct me, but didn't I read that the entire budget went up approx. 9% this year!! And that with only a 3% inflation rate.

And they couldn't channel some of that to the vets to cover their promises?

I always think there's nothing more that gov't could do to surprise me.

And then another budget cycle rolls around.
