Democrats hate the idea of shrinking the 3 million-person federal workforce; after all, political contributions from the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union representing such workers, totaled $2.6 million in the last election, 96 percent of which went to Democrats.
But what Democrats really hate is shining a spotlight on where U.S. taxpayer money is going. Hence the uproar about the U.S. Agency for International Development, which many on the right are blasting for having funded left-wing causes and for being utterly unaccountable.
