With many Americans still struggling to get by, I find it hard to stomach the amount of money the United States gives away to foreign countries. This money should be spent on our own crumbling out dated infrastructure. Dams that are nolonger safe like the Oroville dam in California. Power grid that has brown and blackouts. Updated Irrigation system for farmers in the midwest in times of draught. Heck give every home owner free solar panels. Or heres an idea..... LOWER TAXES!!! Stop giving our money away. This government has acted like we are there for them. No our government is suppose to be there for us. We fund the damn thing.
Given the many agencies, funding methods, and categories of aid associated with U.S. foreign assistance efforts, estimates can differ. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS), which uses the broadest definition of aid [PDF], including military and security assistance, total spending was nearly $49 billion in 2015.

The biggest problem I see about giving money away to other Countries is because "we" have to "borrow" it into existence, then pay interest on it until "we" pay it back... Do you see the problem we face with that...???

Can you imagine how strong this economy would be if our government would spend only what it brought in in taxes. The cofidence in our business and foreign investors would go through the roof. When there is a gigh degree of confidence money velocity increases and businesses grow.

Believe it or not, most of our tax dollars briefly pass from our Governments Hands to the hands of those who own the Federal Reserve Banking System...The rest of our Governments spending money is brought about by new loans... If we printed our own Debt and Interest free Money, Trump really could Make America Great Again...
