No.
What a dumb question. We shell out more than any other nation and they all hate us more than any other nation.
I believe it’s just another way for politicians to get money from the taxpayers. Send a billion to whoever and in exchange, agreed on ahead of time, some of it will come back to your campaign fund or your overseas account or whatever. The pol can look like a benevolent humanitarian and get rich at the same time.
No. I did my Master’s thesis on this topic.
If its paying for abortions and morning after pills, or promoting the UN’s education agenda (aka Socialism), then no. It isn’t. If its giving money to Egypt to buy arms to kill ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood zealots, then yes.
Yes — it helps the corrupt political thugs who are spending our tax dollars.
Oh, you mean helping real people? NO.
Of course it does, it is returned many times over in political campaign contributions to US politicians.
Autbor makes valid points.
My point is I don’t want foreigners who hate me to benefit from my tax dollars.
It pays off donors and political allies in other countries.
That’s always been the main goals of foreign aid.
Rarely it’s used for ‘good Public Relations’, but only rarely as the ROI is too low.
This fellow must be a recent college graduate.
Haiti is a perfect example. We send food down there, and what does it do? It winds up putting farmers out of business (who can compete with free food?)
Foreign Aid: Poor people in rich countries sending money to rich people in poor countries...............
Where in the Constitution does the FED think they derive the power to take from us and give to other nations?
Yes. It makes a lot of dictators, criminals and other thieves and their families very rich.
Could actually do harm to the extent it enables oppressive governments and dictators.
No. Especially when the grantee despises the grantor.
Food aid destroys indigenous producers - no one can compete with “free”.
When the food aid is gone, so are the ones who used to produce food.
There is NO Constitutional authority for Congress to give taxpayer money to foreign countries.
None.

NO but it makes Libtards feel good.......
Sometimes.
