Why did Obama with Congressional approval hand over $7.5 Billion to Pakistan?
i am not saying all aid is bad - but i disagree with that spending to some extent as well...
i just see America in dire need of repair - and we are worried about helping our friends repair their countries...in some cases we are obligated to repair them because we are the ones who broke them...and in other cases it is non-military spending that helps people extremely desperate.
7.5 billion is a very small sum compared to 1.5-3 trillion - however - it is money that could spent in our schools...could be spent on science - on infrastructure - etc.
