Uh, the good intentions are usually stopped by the head cheese of the country we are sending our tax dollars to so they can prop up regimes that hate us for having the ability to send them aid. HUH? No more foreign aid no more u.n. Humanitarian aid? Didn’t we send a “hole” lot of money to the Carribean not to long ago with nearly negative results?
“Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.” - Douglas Casey
There was a guy recently who begged the US ‘No more welfare. You are killing Africans.” When I worked in RHODESIA (yes Rhodesia, Heaven in Afica) EVERY single dollar we gave for aid went to arming the rebels. Look at it now.
All of these points also can apply to American inner cities
Foreign aid is the best scheme ever developed fo take the money out of a working man’s pocket and to put it into a rich man’s pocket in another country.
