I am still trying to figure out why a declining America is still giving away hundreds of billions in foreign aid to all these countries.

It’s total bull sh*t.

Foreign aid was about $35 Billion in fiscal year 2014. It is a nice chunk, but far from hundreds of billions.

Is foreign aid a one time give away of American treasure? No it's not. Add this up decade after decade.

“Is foreign aid a one time give away of American treasure? No it’s not. Add this up decade after decade.”

You are correct, it adds up. But it is not the major source of our problems. 9% of foreign aid is military assistance to Israel, and some of that we end up getting back.

I have seen wasteful foreign aid. The government is wasteful. But all government programs have significant waste. It is hard to get rid of it.

Best way is to cut programs altogether.
