Development's foregone conclusion

Attended an event on "development policy for a changed world" yesterday at AEI. Was surprised to hear that the federal government having its hands in "international development/aid" was a foregone conclusion among the panelists; more specifically, that the infusion of public money is necessary (i.e. USAID, the MCC).

I have a lot of research to do on the entrenched development bureaucracy; however, any foregone conclusions in this debate do an injustice to Americans and especially the people we claim to help.
