I would have loved for her to spend 0% of the federal budget on foreign aid. What right does she have to take our hard-earned money and give it to others? What makes her think that she can buy friends or even allies? If Hillary ever thought she had friends in school, she must have paid them too and thought it was working.
I suspect that the arrogant attitude behind foreign aid is one of the reasons our country is hated by so many who see their governments bought with our dollars. I would rather engage in honest trade where both sides benefit, if we interact at all.
I second your thoughts. Any money we send to another nation should result in an equal value returned to us in the form of energy or some other tangible asset(s). Fair trade. And I would include any costs we incur for the housing of any foreigners in our hospitals, jails and mental institutions in the “money sent” totals.
