    Nice one.

    Estimates vary but USAID saved roughly 90 million lives over the last 2 decades so going without that money over the next decade could mean 45 million die. Or ’only’ 22.5 million if USAID funding is restored to normal levels in 5 years.

    Whatever the exact numbers, it’s pretty easy to blow past the 6 million mark…
