A candidate like that would end all foreign aid gravy trains.

Quick, what percentage of the 2006 Federal Budget was consumed by "foreign aid gravy trains?" Yeah. You don't know. But it's a good bumper sticker.

It's not a matter of how much,but rather why are Americans being taxed even a penny to send overseas to some God-forsaken country that probably bad-mouths us and votes against our interests in the UN?Do you have any principles at all,or are you just concerned about your pocketbook(not that that's not something with which to be concerned,but in this matter it should certainly be secondary).

This is a free country.If you want to send your money to Zimbabwe,Croatia,or even Iraq,you have a right to do so.Give till it hurts,as you'll be making up for me.

See post 167, needless to say not of Paul’s numbers remotely add up.
