[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering that we have a huge national debt, Trump is right. Why should we go into debt (debt that our grandchildren will be expected to pay off) to line the pockets of officials in other countries? Not to mention the fact that our own citizens don’t have a lot of things they need.

Money doesn’t rain from the sky here. We literally go into debt (and DEEPER into debt?!) to give it to them. This isn’t our responsibility. Let other countries increase their foreign debt to take on these responsibilities. And if they don’t, that should send a message to you about who the suckers have been.[/quote]

Foreign aid is 1% of the federal budget: https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/money-verify/united-states-foreign-aid-federal-budget-percentage-fact-check/536-09375bcd-56ec-4296-ac79-afb6ac3dbe78

This is much lower than what is spent by many (most?) developed countries.

If you are concerned about debt and the deficit, your focus should probably be elsewhere.[/quote]
