AFL-CIO was in the buffet line at the USAID cafeteria

Fun fact: We have an entire AFL-CIO NGO we're financing almost entirely with taxpayer dollars.
The Solidarity Center, an NGO affiliated with the AFL-CIO, receives millions in taxpayer dollars to influence labor rights worldwide. It was established alongside the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and serves as the ideological counterpart to CIPE, the free-market-focused NGO. We have over 100 million in active spending awards for them.
Note that they even say AFL-CIO in their logo!

Damn it. I thought it was Soros funding them now.
It was us. Again.
It was us. Again.

We're learning a lot this past month, right?
You are correct. We met the enemy, and he is us.

In other words, they steal our money through threat of jail to spend on things that make the cost of goods sold go up. We are the arse holes that continue to allow this. Wars have been started for less.

I'd have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those pesky kids...
It's unsettling how easily it's done too. Some flowery words about grand missions and you get hundreds of millions tossed your way.

December 21, 2019 WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its four core grantees, the National Democratic Institute (NDI), the International Republican Institute (IRI), the Solidarity Center, and the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) are deeply gratified that the U.S. Congress has shown strong bipartisan support for our work with a substantial increase in NED’s annual appropriation. On Tuesday, December 17, the House of Representatives approved a spending package that increases annual funding for the National Endowment for Democracy from $180 million to $300 million. The Senate approved the measure on December 19 and it was signed into law by President Trump on Friday, December 20.
