Next should be Foreign Aid to all Third world countries. It is just a waste of our dollers - buying off dictators and such. They will turn on us in a second!

"Next should be Foreign Aid to all Third world countries."

It certainly needs to be re-evaluated and I think we should give a lot less foreign aid, but some of it is actually spent in our national interests. The problem is that we don't attach enough strings to it, or cut it off immediately when the foreign country stops being grateful.

If by cutting foreign aid, we include eliminating our foreign empire we are finally talking about some real money, about 1 trillion per year.

Let’s add the money sent to the U.N. too. They have that big building in N.Y., and the high price property. Maybe THEY should pay US instead.
