How about the destruction of 500 metric tons of high-energy biscuits intended to feed some 1.5 million children in Afghanistan and Pakistan? They were stored in the United Arab Emirates, poised for shipment, but with the destruction of USAID (the US Agency for International Development), they were burned instead.

The previous administration spent $800,000 for the food and the current administration spent $130,000 to destroy it.

Or do you prefer to define evil as putting thousands of people—56,000 to be exact—in cages, in which they suffer from heat, mosquitoes, little to no food or medical treatment, and no hope for release?

All funded by U.S. tax dollars.

Vote.
