    Well lets start by cutting of funding to Ukraine, Israel, and every other country. Close all the foreign military bases and we could realistically take care of all these people in need. Won’t happen but its a nice thought…

    Let the world take care of itself, I’m sick and tired of us (The USA) being the “World Police”

    And fuck the bailouts, that pisses me off more than anything. Let them fail.

      Foreign aid is less than 1% of the US budget.

      What difference would that make?

          You said foreign aid first. You even mentioned specific countries. Or did you forget that?

        Does that include the opportunity cost when the world goes to hell if we don’t invest in that foreign aid? We’re not always good investors in the future, stability, and human rights of the world but I have to believe our foreign aid is a net positive (and we really need to be doing a lot more of it, especially in forward looking areas like renewable energy)
