Who is USAID Aiding?

One group they are not aiding is we taxpayers. The work they oversee in Afghanistan may be aiding some Afghans. But it is costing a lot of money for the work done there by USAID contractors. The contractors are profiting handsomely but, in the case of at least one contractor, Louis Berger Group, they may be profiting at our expense by over-billing and doing shoddy work. Some say the over-billing goes back to the 1990's. But still USAID continues to hire them.
