Money for influence but it’s not working so may as well keep the money since can’t lose the influence you don’t have.

We mostly give aid to influence and further our own interests in a country or region.....occasionally humanitarian....

That was the original intent.....

If judiciously administrated and with proper oversight it can greatly influence trade and prevent regional conflicts.....saving both US Blood and Treasure....

Unfortunately, our political leaders of late (both Republican and Democrat) both improperly managed and used these programs for their own enrichment.

The entire program needs to be reviewed for true cost benefit analysis and dramatically scaled back in most areas but may need limited increase in others...

Most of the billions we dump into these 3rd world dumps buys nothing but a knife in the back.

Exactly.

Foreign aid is a way to take money from middle class people in rich countries and give it to rich people in poor countries.

I’m sick of it.
