Decrease Foreign Aid to most Countries & Offer Repayment Solutions:let the American people decide where and how much will be loaned or gifted, by ballot voting.
the American people have the right to decide where and when loans or gifts to other countries are made.
Presently and in the past, we have gifted billions of dollars to counties who are not obligated to pay back this money. This money belongs to the American people. The majority of funds are given to Israel and Egypt, in both categories of Military Aid and Economic Aid. or example, in 2010 we have $400,000,000.00 to Israel for Economic Aid!!!!! In 2010 we gave Egypt $250,000,000.00 in economic aid!!! We have give both countries even greater amounts for Military Aid!!!!
I also believe that the majority of military installations around the world should be closed or decreased in size, unless those countries have and are paying for protection...
Other countries we gift to include: Jordan, Pakistan!!!!, Columbia, Kenya, Russia, Liberia, Bangladesh, etc....
Long story short is that most money is gifted and not returned!!!! Many of these countries are not necessarily developing countries and should have less attention paid to.
Instead of gifting countless countries around the planet, instead set up funds for the hardest hit American from Katrina Victims to the most recent victims in New York, from Storm Sandy. not to mention taking these economic and military giveaways and use the money instead to create better schools here in America, provide improved benefits for veterans, the disabled, natural disasters, homeless, and lets not forget healthcare for everyone! Instead the Americans money went to the big bank bailout!!!
The US isin no position at the moment to provide aid in the form of gifts when we have so many needy at home, who have likely paid their taxes yet have little control over where the money is spent.
