    The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has officially closed
    its doors after President Donald Trump gradually dismantled the agency
    over its allegedly wasteful spending.

    More than 80% of all the agency's programmes were cancelled as of March,
    and on Tuesday the remainder were formally absorbed by the state
    department.

    The shuttering of USAID - which administered aid for the US government,
    the world's largest such provider - has been newly criticised by former Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush.


    So ... we're supposed to put up with unbounded
    corruption and waste because the few remaining
    pennies sometimes wind up where intended ???

    If USAID is so corrupt why did Trump
    INCREASE its budget in 2020?
