researchers have found that development aid often actually retards economic growth and “has an insignificant or minute negative significant impact on per-capita income.” Why? Largely because the aid is stolen by the kleptocrats who run many poor countries and the rest is “invested” in projects that are not profitable.

Oh, you mean exactly like the "Porkulus package" which went to phony "green energy" companies, labor unions and other thieves right here in the US?

I just saw a report that 80% of the stimulus money went overseas.

I assume Michelle spent it shopping.

Or maybe she bought rocket launchers for Mexican drug cartels.

Same thing I guess.
