The financial situation of Egypt is even more dire then that of Libya. At least Libya has significant oil reserves to export, and a fairly small populace. Egypt, by comparison, has negligible exports, and without foreign aid would be only a few months away from depleting its foreign currency reserves, which would making importing food (Egypt is a net food-importer) for its 80 million citizens far more difficult. Logically, if any nation should be groveling for money, it would be Egypt.

Romney MUST end ALL foreign aid to any country that is not our firm ally. Better yet, end it loudly to everyone, then quietly restore it where it is to our advantage.
