    It’s less than 1% of the military budget alone. It’s less than 0.0001% of the US’s annual expenditures.

    Yeah, obviously we should have nationalized healthcare, but USAID is not what’s keeping that from being a reality. It’s insurance company lobbying, and propaganda against it, among other things.
