This is the crap that pisses me off. We bicker about money that we spend in our own damn country on our own damn people, but no one seems to have a problem with giving billions of dollars to foreign countries. Cut external before you cut internal.

Cutting foreign aid is consistently one of the most popular questions pollsters ask. I don't think it isn't not having a problem with it, it is that globalists have told us that liberal western hegemony depends on paying countries insane amounts of foreign aid. So we do it. Despite such spending being unpopular with the electorate, the ruling class thinks it is essential to ensure US can effectively police the world.

That money also comes back as lobbying cash, bribes and slush funds.

It's no different than the government giving Planned Parenthood money, then Planned Parenthood donates millions to democratic politicians, using de-facto government funds.

I call b.s. on that. Our politicians do it because the corporate lobbyist tell them that it is essential that some of our corporations(oil and weapons) have essential interest in those countries. If there wasn't a monetary gain for some we wouldn't give two shites about them.
