The Global Development Council is a new commission that President Obama has created. This council will draw together nonprofit advocacy groups, charities, colleges and also businesses for the purpose of promoting "global development." They will begin to advise and support the President in his attempt to help protect national security and further American economic, humanitarian, and strategic interests in the world. Funding for this new council will be provided by USAID.
Personally, I feel as though this is just another unnecessary commission for our financially damaged government. It is my opinion that our government sends an excessive amount of taxpayer dollars overseas. The politics in Washington need to realize that our country has problems that desperately need to be fixed before we use our funds to aid other nations with their problems.
