Foreign Aid Cuts Can Be Reasonable

Cutting foreign aid is inevitable but needs to be done selectively

Back to argument

Yes. I think it is crazy for the US to owe so much money and still give other countries billions that the US has to borrow to give to them. While the US middle class is shrinking and the number of poor in the US is growing so rapidly, and the US debt is s high, it seems like a no brainer to stop giving away money that we do nt have! it is daily. When your family is hungry, would you borrow money to send food to others. Americans are hurting mostly because so many jobs were moved out of the US by the 1% and this happened when the 1% was getting the Bush tax breaks. The 1% were not the least bit incented by this tax break to keep jobs in the US. The 1% showed no loyalty to help the Country that gave them the opportunity to build such large successful companies. Without question the tax break for the 1% needs to expire. and the US Aid needs to be cut to the bone.
