I saw a shocking study by Amnesty International that if we could pay for very minor medical aid overseas, we could save six million children! Six million children die because we are too cheap.
Wall Street greed is the only thing that ever matters.
Stop sending food aid. the 6 mill turns into 60 mill and then thats 60 mill needing aid.
Yea, starve em too..sigh
yada yada yada - then dont be poor. Plenty of people have pulled themselves out of poverty. Stop the whining and look for a job waiting tables. that's a good start. . Oh so now you want to worry about overseas too ! we spend more on foreign aid than all other countries combined pleeeeaaase !
We spend the smallest on foreign aid of most countries.
yea - give me the numbers

I count military spending as foreign aid. since we are protecting just about every country out there - they dont have to spend on their military.
Military aid is the main aid, but all other aid is mostly us paying off people to be nice to our investors.
