Senate may modify foreign aid policy | Agweek
Still not my grand return, but I saw this on Aid Watch’s twitterfeed, and wanted to comment.
The Bumpers Amendment is in no way a support of international development. To refuse to allow aid money from USAID aka United States Agency for International Development to be used to fund agricultural development is counterproductive.
The goal of aid, especially aid directed towards development should be to make itself obsolete. Refusing to allow development aid money to develop is a waste of resources and in no way useful in the big picture.
OK. I’ll step down from the podium, now.
