[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they shut USAID down then it wouldn't change or affect US citizens or residents in any way so why keep it running. Place employees somewhere else. [/quote]

Whether USAID should exist is a foreign policy question, separate from whether it is doing what it was designed to do, but I'll go ahead anyway on the foreign policy question.

We live in an interconnected world.  Diseases don't stop at the border.  Economic prosperity doesn't stop at the border.  Do you want more refugees fleeing from war, famine, rampant crime and corruption fleeing to other countries in such numbers that the region is destabilized?  Do you want more lawless states that breed terrorism?  Do you want more terrorist organizations winning the hearts and minds of people by providing basic social services (clean water, safety, education, jobs)? 
 The world is safer the more secure everyone is in that world.  It might not effect you tomorrow if USAID shuts down, but it will effect you eventually.    [/quote]

Agree and this article explains the ramifications well: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/397399/usaid-omb-purge-government-agency-spending-leave
