Significant. The entire foreign affairs budget (State Dept plus aid to other countries and international organizations less military aid) is less than 30 billion. So 1 billion would be a 3-4% increase.

It always helps (if used wisely).
International affairs is like preventative medicine for countries. Would you rather spend $1 billion now, or $50 billion in the future on the military?

It would buy a few extra hammers and a dozen toilet seats.
Ya know...a dollar just ain't worth what it used to be worth...especially in the hands of the government.
