They’re speaking for taxpayers who understand causality and have a planning horizon.

A planning horizon would involve fixing the actual problem, which is the corruption in their government, rather than indirectly supporting it.

I think both are required. Make sure disease spread is understood and prevented and also make it so we don't have to babysit them. They're capable of having a functioning government, right? Or are we just patiently waiting for a revolution from their people?

I mean the idea that the people behind usaid weren’t aware of the corruption and engaged in long-term projects to reduce it is a little unkind.
