Smoke and mirrors until more U.S. funding arrives.
You got that right. I've been saying for days, that Obama will borrow money and increase foreign aid with it. Here's the headline today:

President Obamas 2010 budget seeks to double U.S. aid payments to other countries despite a $1.75 trillion deficit and the worst recession in over a quarter of a century.
Israel ($2.4 billion in 2008) and Egypt ($1.7 billion), the two signatories to the Camp David Accords, receive by far the most U.S. foreign aid. Other major recipients include Pakistan, Jordan, Kenya, South Africa, and Mexico.
