[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 1766187, member: 19286"] US Foreign Aid is something that makes perfect sense to the Ivy League policy wonks in the State Department, but that constantly confuses and frustrates the average tax payer. Why on Earth do we give money to other nations that are full of people that hate us and would gladly kill us? I think the idea is that it's cheaper to win hearts with (hard earned) cash than fighting wars with those people. But, I think that model's time has come and gone. I think that we must reexamine this line of thinking. Surprisingly, this is never really discussed by our hard-working, honorable politicians. The ONLY candidates that seemed intent upon reversing this cash flow were Ron Paul and Rick Perry. With the rest (of both parties), it seems like it's business as usual. Frustrating. [/QUOTE]
