Oh, my, the budget cuts are going to be harming the childrennns.
USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah told the House Appropriations State and Foreign Ops subcommittee on Wednesday that the budget plan, which would cut $61 billion in federal spending, would lead to the deaths of 30,000 kids in a malaria control program that would have to be scaled back, 24,000 from a lack of immunizations and 16,000 from a lack of skilled attendants at birth.
I'd be willing to bet my admittedly meager paycheck that they could cut administrative costs by 50% and continue to serve just as many children as they do now without anyone noticing the difference, except the administrators who were cut.
