We give away lots of foreign aid...
« on: September 06, 2010, 01:25:48 PM »
  We give lots of foreign aid away, one may think we should get some agreement and respect from those slurping at our trough. Doesn't look that way though..some of those that get the most money, spit in our face the most. An indicator is by how well they agree with us at the UN.
   Here's the list, and Snopes' analysis, click onto it and scroll down to the bottom to get the actual percentage figures..then decide who in this world may just be our friend:

Any President or adminstration that was serious about lowering the deficit, the national debt and fixing the economy would make some really big cuts in foreign aid. And they would close all those military installations we don't need and bring our people home. We could save billions!!

 Correct Saddlebum; and drop all foreign aid where the recipients show no gratitude and the aid doesn't show results..

IG....read the last paragraph of your link...it says the rest of the world pretty much votes against us, too.  Its the USA against the world for some reason(s).

 Saddlebum...agreed, there's no real accounting for this aid and who's hands it falls into, BUT this so-called foreign aid is also 'aid' to domestic industries at the same time; probably off-shored industries, too.
If such aid was given to our own people who probably could use some aid along about now...it would be called welfare...that concept doesn't float well.

  It is abundantly clear by now, that you consider the US to be almost always wrong. However, most here I believe...think that even with it's "warts" the US has historically, been right more often than others at the UN.  That is until recently, with this latest administration...but we are likely to start a turn around, come November. Let's not stop there...
  
  All the more reason millions of us say" Get the US out of the UN, and the UN out of the US".

All foreign aid should end until the federal budget is balanced.

 :) Howdy! Back around 1967-1968 I asked an elderly man if the US would be the first country to land on the moon. He puffed once or twice on his pipe, then said,"I can't say that the United States will be the first country to get to the moon; however, you can bet that the US will be the first country to send it foreign aid."  Always, Gene
