“Billions of dollars have been poured into these countries but it never benefits the poor, the corrupt governments use it as they please.”
Which is entirely different from the US. The difference in the US is that there some degree of “leakage” to the general populace, whereas in 3rd world countries, the money is directly, brazenly, and almost completely stolen.
Strange how that may work out. In 50 years that “leakage” will have turned into an avalanche, everyone will be poor and we may become like the ‘poor’ countries I spoke of.
