DOGE Advisor Ron Paul has announced that one of his recommendations will be to totally ELIMINATE foreign aid.
"It’s taking money from the poor and middle class in the US and giving it to the rich in poor countries - with a cut to the facilitators in between!"
It's about time we defunded the dictators all around the world. The billions we send overseas are responsible for the corrupt people remaining in office for so long.
Nothing our foreign policy establishment has done since World War II has benefitted us or the world at-large in any way.

I don’t think I would cut off all aid. But I would, with countries that hate us.
I approve this message — piytar
Some foreign aid must be maintained. Of course. Also many countries rely on us using their ports etc for their own economies.
That said a lot of foreign aid is corruption pure and simple. Example: $1B Biden just gave to Africa while people made homeless by the hurricanes here are living in tents during the cold. A lot of that needs to be cut.
I’m glad to see Ron Paul is still in the game.
Don’t forget about the $36,000,000,000,000 in debt and the trillion bucks a year it takes to service it. This along with the commies and illegals is asking our country to burn down before the decade is out. You can’t inflate your way out of debt either.
Want Aid? PAY FOR IT, in US currency.
Rand Paul is right.
Millions in kick backs to Congress critters, especially the Black Caucus..
I would make one exception.
Keep sending foreign aid to Israel.
Defund the Dictators
The world will be just fine. Who is angry will be the bloodthirsty pimps.
Yup...stop paying out the treasure of the Nation to people who hate us.
Let them hate us for free.
IF these United States of America had the most powerful and motivated military on this planet other countries would be begging us to accept bases and ports around the world at THEIR expense. too many politicians are concerned with how they look to their foreign contemporaries and want “friends” to impress instead of earning respect through pure FEAR of pissing off America. our politicians are confused about what our role in the modern world should be...walk softly, carry the BIGGEST stick, and if you decide to screw with us we will BEAT YOU with that stick and then make YOU Clean up the mess.
SWEET!!
“there are no ports open where you need them to be. “
If we have to pay then we don’t need those ports that badly.
/Bout time.
Take it away and tell them why.
I could see sending aid to a country that just had a natural disaster but endlessly sending money to foreigners should end eventually
Oh, God (I am not swearing; I’m actually praying), let this be true!
America First!
Biden went too far. If he hadn’t been so “generous” with “aid” to facilitate the Biden Crime Family’s money laundering operation, little attention would be paid to this.
Not subtle at all. In-your-face theft of our tax money was extreme. People are pissed, and the pendulum has to swing far in the other direction.
That’s a non sequitur
They’re talking about cutting off foreign aid, not closing bases
