So This Was How USAID Wasted Our Tax Dollars?

The AP article, "Sex work or starve: Aid workers in Nepal left jobless by USAID cuts turn to sex work to survive," reports:

For nine years, Lama — who is transgender — had devoted her life to conducting HIV outreach in Nepal’s marginalized communities, including the LGBTQ+ sex workers who wait by this highway each night. But after the United States slashed its foreign aid funding last year, Lama and more than 280,000 aid workers worldwide found themselves out of a job. 

So Americans were working their butts off to pay taxes to be spent providing 280,000 jobs to do this type of work? 

    Of the more than 281,000 jobs lost due to Trump’s dismantling of USAID, just 23,000 were American, says Sadie Healy, who runs a global health consulting firm and has been tracking the job losses worldwide. The rest were overseas — many of them belonging to impoverished locals living in conflict zones or economically depressed regions where other employment options are scarce.

    In Nepal alone, an estimated 35,000 aid workers lost their jobs amid the USAID cuts, says NGO Federation of Nepal President Arjun Bhattarai. With the country already facing high unemployment, the fallout was devastating.

I don't think we have an obligation to provide make-work jobs oversees for pet leftist projects.
