Promoting Gender Equity in National Priority Programs, Promote, a 5 year program which is failing

USAID program to promote gender equality in Afghanistan and help women find employment is costing taxpayers over $200 million but has only found jobs for 55 women.

This has the look and feel of some of the Obama stimulus programs in the ARRA that employed a few people at the cost of millions of tax dollars, while shutting down others that were working. However, the tone is definitely GW Bush. Bush freed more women than Lincoln did slaves, but he also believed in imposing western culture and norms on people still struggling to leave the 8th century. If Trump closes this down, the pink pussy hats will be out in force saying he's hurting women.
