US taxpayers money at work...in Egypt

"Ninety percent of the total US$6 billion in USAID granted to Egypt over the past 30 years has been misused, while it is unknown where the rest was spent, a report by the Economic Studies Center revealed. USAID is a US agency whose primary purpose is to distribute civilian foreign aid.  The report said the grants were originally directed to support democracy and human rights, but were spent on salaries of foreign consultants, parties and conferences."
