Okay, so, apparently...
Twenty separate countries have currently requested Peace Corps. (a government organization) assistance from the United States that we supposedly do not have the "resources" for. And apparently the total budget for the Peace Corps. over the last forty-six years is equal to about seventeen hours of war expenditure in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Someone somewhere in charge of a federal budget has made an unfathomable mistake when tens of entire countries are asking for aid from us specifically, and we aren't giving it to them.
It's a good thing I don't drink.
