I am sure -- the government will appeal and the supreme court will decide it is all fine, because that's how founding fathers intended.
Even if the Supreme Court says they need to fund the USAID, it won't bring back the hundreds of thousands who died.

We are already $39T+ in debt. Where does it end?

Dude, the funding of USAID yielded so much soft power for 0.3% of the federal budget. You indolent, unempathetic monster.
You want to cut the federal debt, where should we look to where the wealth has been hoarded?

The funding will be restored, assuming the decision survives an appeal.
