LOL - and how many were we killing by not funding USAID twice as much? How many are you personally killing by not mortgaging your house and sending the money to African NGOs? The entire angle is so childish.
It takes a special kind of intellectual laziness to believe that comparing a national budget to a personal mortgage is a clever substitute for a logical argument- it's a "choice" to call a position "childish" while relying on a rhetorical strategy that wouldn't pass muster in a middle-school debate.
Suddenly destroying a massive system of aid, upon which millions had already depended, is very different than not donating to NGO’s. There was even a responsible way to cut that funding, with planning, with forewarning, with cooperation from other nations. This was completely reckless, and will kill millions.
