Why are we giving “aid” to other countries in the first place?

It’s a meaningless vote anyway.

Excellent question. And if such aid is so casually cut off, it must not have been that important to begin with.

Cut 'em off anyway, and cut off the UN as well.

Make 'em all apologize on the front steps of the White House before we even consider any further aid of any kind.

To buy influence for our businesses in foreign countries. Grease enough palms and you would be surprised how many doors open.

Politicians NEVER spend money that doesn’t result in a large donation to their re-election effort.

Cut off aid to all of them. Let them apply for aid, and giving a very good reason as to why they should have it.
