A few of the rich Democrats in Congress could personally write checks to fund all this but they'd rather put taxpayers on the hook for it:

- $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia

- $833k for transgender people in Nepal

- $4.2 million for lgbtq people in the Western Balkans and Uganda

- $3.6 million for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti

- $500k for electric buses in Rwanda

- $6 million for media organizations for the Palestinians

- $300k for a pride parade in Lesotho

- $882k for social media and mentorship in Serbia
