Since the 1980's the United States has cut back on the amount of foreign aid given. In a recent year the amount the U.S. gave in aid equaled 0.21% of the national income. This means that if the U.S. income equaled 100 dollars for this year, 21 cents would have been given in foreign aid. On Average, countries that gave foreign aid in that same year gave 0.36% of their national incomes.
Do you think that the U.S. government should continue granting foreign aid at current levels,increase the amount,or stop giving aid altogether?if youthink the U.S. should continue giving aid at current levels,name one program,institution or country that should receive part of the aid and why.if you think the U.S should increase foreign aid, how do you think the increased aid should spend and why?

I think the amount is just fine as it is. We may have cut back percentages since the '80s, but we are still giving higher dollar amounts. We do give a lesser percentage than many countries, but we are also the 3rd? most populous country in the world-we have more people to take care of at home before we should worry about taking care of the rest of the world.

in order to pay the massive astronomical debt, the conservatives have amassed on us, we should invade south america and all the land owned by the federal reserve and sieze their assets.
