“Cut off all “aid” to these countries and do it today.”
Many people believe that aid money is just handed over to foreign governments. It isn’t. They get credit to buy American goods, like police cars, uniforms, technical equipment, helicopters, machine guns, etc. The money isn’t really intended to help foreign governments, though that might happen in many cases. It is intended as corporate welfare to American companies who have lucrative contracts supplying the “aid.” Those companies all have lobbyists and generous political budgets. That is why all that “aid” is given away.
“They get credit to buy American goods,“
Even better. That’ll get the corporate teat suckers howling to get their gravy spigots turned back on.
