All I can say, is anyone surprised, besides the lefties? Foreign aid is Welfare on an international scale. America redistributes it’s wealth because, well, we owe it to them because we’re successful and they’re not. And the lefties have the added incentive of helping people who have melanin in their skin (because to a leftie having melanin means you’re a perpetual victim, incapable of even basic self sufficiancy). Meanwhile, those Kenyans with drive and ambition get shafted because their government has a incentive to continue failed socialist/marxist policies that keep Kenya (and the rest of Africa) in a never-ending cycle of poverty.

The UN is a disaster. They should be defunded for the callous manner in which they waste money and disregard the real needs of the poor in the developing world.

This reminds me of the issues raised in the film “Without Borders” (I think that’s the title) with Angelina Jolie. The dishonest thing though is that in that film, the blame was almost exclusively laid on Western governments like America, claiming that for right-wing political reasons (i.e., they don’t want to give money to Communist governments, even if those Communist governments are helping the people) they don’t want to give money to Africa. The movie was completely PC and unwilling to blame the corruption of the African governments themselves. Guess it would have spoiled Angelina Jolie’s photo-op.
