Why are we giving aid to Ethiopia? Why do we give money to half the countries we do? What’s in it for us?
Kickbacks to American politicians.
Think Clinton Foundation and foreign relations committees in Congress.
Most of the World hates us for one reason or another. Some out of jealousy, some looking for competitive advantage, some... we've actually earned a certain enmity from.
However... No where, anywhere, in the Constitution does it say we have to support ANYONE else with our public tax monies. Period. Full stop. End of story.
If private individuals/companies want to donate... That's fine. Nothing stopping them.
But there is literally NO clause in the Constitution authorizing giving MY money to any other Country in "foreign aid".
Ethiopia is very close to the equator....
Why cannot they use solar panels for power instead of stealing water from other countries.
Should be a no-brainer.
Generally charity is for charity’s sake.
But yes, a lot of the charity could be cancelled.
A lot of the aid is channeled directly through to american companies and yes, a lot is wasted.
