The head of the U.S. Agency for International Development, Rajiv Shah, has said that the proposed House budget cuts would kill, conservatively, 70,000 children. Never mind the fact that most studies show that international aid generally does more harm to the intended recipients than good as it is stolen by local strongmen and tinpot dictators (remember "Black Hawk Down", that was what the military was trying to stop in Somalia). I wonder how many children he thinks Vice President Joe Biden's inability to write a check to charity kills each year. For that matter, the general lack of charity from Democrats must be leading to the annual slaughter of millions. Oh, and the 30,000 malaria victims? Wouldn't be a problem if the Sierra Club and environmental whack jobs hadn't convinced the world to ban DDT, a perfectly safe and immensely effective pesticide that would have nearly eliminated malaria.
