Foreign aid is a drop in the bucket. It is miniscule—far less than one half of one percent of the federal budget.

The same could be said for AFDC and public housing. They were both parts of the budget in overall terms but they did incredible harm in destroying initiative, free markets, families, and self-help. This has certainly been the case with foreign aid, especially in the third world.

I meant to say that AFDC and public housing were small parts of the budget in relative terms.
