Foreign governments can do dumb things. But what really pisses me off is when countries, like Algeria, who each year receives more than $100 million in US aid ( non-military) pays $500K for lobbyists in DC.

< Because money is fungible, we are in effect paying to be lobbied. There are about a dozen countries that do the same thing.

I'd like to see Congress pass a bill stating t hat ANY country that receives non-military US aid may NOT employ a lobbyist in Washington.

Why restrict it to NON-military aid?
