“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.

No one implied or suggested billions in foreign aid was a, "Major source of our problems". That's not the point. They all add up. This is not complex.

We must go after ALL government waste, fraud and robbery of tax payer dollars.
