Direct foreign aid is a drop in the bucket. The only people I know who object to foreign aid of any kind are liberals and libertarians. I guess if we lived in a perfect world without violence and aggression there would be no need for foreign aid. Well, we don't live in a perfect world built on idealism. The US taxpayer gets a big bang for its buck and a positive return on its money when we properly fund a strong military and national defense capability. Freedom is not free. Same goes for foreign aid. OTOH, welfare state spending is unconstitutional and the real enemy to our Republic. Keeping America free is job #1 for our elected officials. Same today as it was in the Founding Fathers time.
I ask you again. When was the last time Ronpaul voted for a Defense Appropriations bill? You know, the actual budget expenditure that funds America's nuclear weapons arsenal.
“The reality is, America is alive and kicking. No thanks to Ronpaul. “
No thanks to the Democrats or the Republicans.
“Direct foreign aid is a drop in the bucket.”
Even 1 unconstitutional dollar is too much. I’m tired of being taxed to pay for other countries while our own damn border is ignored by the so-called “pro-defense” Republicans.
“I ask you again. When was the last time Ronpaul voted for a Defense Appropriations bill? You know, the actual budget expenditure that funds America’s nuclear weapons arsenal.”
Why don’t you tell me? You do know there’s more than actual defense spending in those bills.
