I just saw this over on www.yahoo.com I do not know why china gets so much aid!

news.yahoo.com...

So, I am all for helping other countries and people out, when you can. Right now we can't. Our economy is terrible right now. I mean our country under Mr. Obama(and everyone else but he is not helping) is getting deeper and deeper in debt. I got an idea. What don't we stop sending aid in the form of cash to other countries right now. Let's use that money to pull our country out of debt and get our country well money wise. After we do this among other things our dollar will go a lot further in helping other countries not to mention our selves. I am all for helping your neighbor mow their yard but I am going to mow mine first.

Sometimes you have to take a step back to go forward and right now we need to step back the spending and strain on our citizens.

agreed man agreed what makes no sense to me is the us is constantly borrowing money from china and then sending it to other countries including china- go figure.


the sheer stupidity of the us government knows no bounds.


if you stopped to think just about every person in this country is getting paid by the chinese worker right now and the majority are buying chinese products in this country makes no sense to me at all.


this country has lost all sense of its mind if it ever had one to begin with.

It's too bad they don't talk about Israel, the biggest recipient of US foreign aid, in spite of the fact that they have one of the best economies in the world. China? I'm not worried about China, lets focus on Israel and what they are doing with our foreign aid.

Why focus on one country? Why not just shut off the damn spigot?

If you did a poll of people, 95% would agree to shut off the spigot, but NO the elite know what is best for us.

Time to shut down the globalists, period.

I offer you this; The China Superpower Hoax

I'd also like to add that the country has never, ever not been in debt. Ever.

Historical Debt Outstanding – Annual, 1791-2009

and

US Public Debt History via Wikipedia

While China appears to be doing well, the United States (along with most of the western world) is still doing far better.

Foreign aids are diplomatic means to buy other countries. It's a way of bribery and embezzlement.
It was never about helping people, why would any government do that ?
Have you ever seen any change in the life of the regular people of foreign aids recipients ? No, they never get the money.

i think it is insane that the US is giving countries that hold US debt any foreign aid. If they have enough money to buy our debt they should have enough money that they don't need foreign aid from the US. We need to shore up our own country before we start helping others. stop the madness _javascript:icon('
