Real problem is that it seems everyone wants cuts for the other guys...but not for themselves
Most folks want reduction in foreign aid...yet we still give away $$$ to foreign nations like candy to a sweet tooth....whether it is direct aid or bad Free Trade deals.
I would also prefer to end all foreign aid instead of cutting veterans benefits....but both parties seem to prefer Globalism over Americanism
What makes this more depressing is that foreign aid and the State Department are the most microscopic spending items on the poll; we could totally eliminate both and it wouldn’t make the slightest bit of difference for the deficit.
What is really hilarious are the polls that ask people to estimate what portion of the budget is foreign aid - you end up with ridiculous 25% estimates when it’s actually 1%.
