USAID and NED are getting shuffled in my addled brain

I have been bellyaching about them both for so long, I'm switching which is the completely captured quasi-NGO and which is the completely captured governmental agency. I mean, they're both meant to be in the same business, but neither of them have, in practice, been performing the function we think when we envision our tax dollars going to ease suffering abroad.
I'm sorry. I deserve your crumpled brows on this.
They've been lumped together in my poor old pate for so long — because they are twins in effect — I don't even know how long I've been getting it inside out.
Suffice it to say that psychopaths have perverted the uses of both.
pipe up any time....
