US Foreign Aid - How stupid can we be?

[Lucrum]

Including everything, $53.3 Billion for 2012.

IF my math is correct that's approximately 40% of our current budget deficit.

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to borrow money we don't have only to give it away, much of it to countries that don't even like the US.

I agree, a great place to start with cutting the budget. Absolutely.

You are correct, thanks for pointing it out.

In Lucrum's defense he was once seen in the same room as an arithmetic textbook. The witnesses were no less surprised than you or I would be.
