Roughly three million lives, if the money spent on this week of war was used by USAID for health care instead, at a rough cost of $3,500 per life saved.
The United States cut $10 billion dollars in aid to the poorest people in the world - calling it waste, fraud, and abuse - causing probably a million deaths so far from starvation and disease.
And the same people who called that $10 billion dollars in aid a monstrous waste and treason against the American taxpayer are cheering their heads off as we spend $10 billion dollars to kill an 85-year-old man and two hundred schoolchildren.
Because saving lives is a waste but ending them isn’t.
