I don't believe the US Government should be giving taxpayer money to any foreign government period.

There is nothing in the Constitution which authorizes such 'giving'.

There is nothing in the Constitution which authorizes such 'giving'.

And nothing which expressly forbids it, either, just to point out the obvious.

[Luis Gonzalez]

"There is nothing in the Constitution which authorizes such 'giving'."

Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

While there may be no specific mention of such "giving" as you say, there are very specific instructions on how to constitutionally appropriate public monies for unspecified reasons.

I can guarantee you, that at the bottom of the idea of foreign aid, the proper constitutional steps were taken.
