  • Having once worked for a US foreign aid contractor and seen the budgets for these projects, I can tell you that most of the money goes to American companies supporting American jobs. The aid is mostly in the form of technical expertise in certain subject areas. Some material aid is distributed, but it’s a pittance compared to the billions that stay right in the US or that go to Americans working overseas. Also, these projects grease the wheels of influence in these countries. It’s a carrot to play nice with the US.

    Halting foreign aid as if it is some suspect thing just kind of shows these goons don’t know how it works.
