Foreign Aid: NOT Cominig to Your Neighborhood Soon
Nobody Flashes:
Here’s one of the main reasons we are in such bad shape: Foreign Aid. Ted Poe (R-Texas) makes a good point for every single one of us. In fact, I received this video from my very liberal friend.
Why do we give foreign aid to so many countries, and then decide to cut money from our older citizens and soldiers FIRST?
Why are we giving money to people who hate us?
Nobody Thinks it’s because the big multinational companies want into the world markets, and that is the price “we” pay for them to be allowed to “enter.” Other countries want cash up front….and our politicians will not get their big campaign monies if they do not do what they are being elected to do.
And why is this not being discussed in Congress? Can’t we cut here? You bet we can…and you can bet—we won’t.

‘Foreign aid’ is a scam that replaced the old British idea of Empire, in which Britain poured billions into other Commonwealth nations to bring them up to speed, and gained a trade and ‘family’ connection.
America did not ‘approve’ of ‘Empire’ and set about replacing the 19C and early 20C british influence with its own expansionism. This included ‘foreign aid’, which most western nations have been cajoled into copying.
We have the ludicrous situation now of the so-called wealthier countries giving money to so-called poorer ones, which is really the transfer of poor people’s taxes at home into wealthy people’s pockets overseas.. Wealthy Britain, for example, gives $Millions aid to poor India which has nuclear weapons and a space program! 20 million Australians give $ Billions to Indonesia with its 180 million population and GDP that leaves ours cold.
It is madness.
I am all for helping the poor. I get little choice in which poor though and how much I have taken from my wallet to give to them.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul, is a great idea from Paul’s POV. But it sure pisses off this Peter.
