The Foreign Aid We Dish Out

From Reaganite Republican's post "US Taxpayer-Funded Foreign Aid Received by 150/192 Countries in the World!":



Look at the map again (Click directly on the image to enlarge it):


Think about it:
That's us dishing-out an allowance to
over 78% of the nations in existence...
As you compute your taxes this year, remember how much of your hard-earned money is being given to foreign countries.

My wife knows Ted Poe as "Judge Ted Poe". They went to the same church in Houston. He's known for his creative sentencing.

When was the last time this nation even had a debate on what foreign aid is for?

Humanitarian help? (Pakistani Earthquake victims?)

Strategic purposes of the USA? (Egypt, Turkey?)

Back up corporate invasions of markets? US Domestic employment issues?(buyout to Fiat of Chrysler)

By what metric do we measure the wiseness of this aid?

DOES ANY ONE IN DC EVEN GIVE A SHIT?
