Just gathering a resource for future work and outrage. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we had a program to assist North Korea build nuclear weapons.

They just covered this topic on CSPAN last week and were sourcing a USA Today paper showing the $$$. Basically, 95% of our foreign aid is for military (!) and it amounts to 0.5% of the Federal budget. A caller on CSPAN said she used to work in that area and that there is some kind of cap on humanitarian aid (1.5 million) and it has to come from leftover pentagon budgeting. [Shrug. She sounded like she knew her stuff]

Get outraged at the correct stuffso you aren't wasting your time...people never do in the budget. They get all hot and bothered over the National Endowment for the Arts, Foreign Aid, Congressional salaries...all of which are such trivial parts of the Federal Budget they are, essentially, irrelevant.
