Had it not been for the good will of the American people, where would Japan and
Germany be today?? With our help they became two of the most industrious countries in the world today.
I was born in the southern US in 1951 and most of my friends fathers, including mine, served in WWII, in either Europe or the Pacific. There were several million of my fathers generation who served abroad and quickly learned what the other parts of the world was like, at war. They came home and most never spoke about what they had seen and done and were happy to live a quite life close to home with family. The US is a very large country with a very beautiful landscape from coast to coast. Why would we need to travel outside our borders??
Personally I would like to see most in not all of the money we spend on foreign aid come to a stop. We need to take care of ourselves and FUCK all these others. They seem to not care for us anyway.

You do tend to "fuck" all these others already!
"They seem not to care for us anyway" Wow, understatement of the day! People don't tend to care for the people dropping bombs on them!
Actually, as a % of GDP, the US foreign aid budget is not particularly high for an advanced nation. Then again, I reckon the money is more needed at home these days than by some of the recipients, a case in point being Israel.Originally Posted by khmen

Grammer/spelling Police out, are they?
btw snubbles...you still posting while drunk?
The US spends very little on foreign aid (0.19 percent of GDP). Planeloads of cash sent to Iraq and millions sent to Afghanistan and Pakistan to grease their corrupt politicos and arm the Taliban don't count. Also, don't forget our ridiculous consumption of oil that fuels the economies of places we pretend not to like. I suppose we make up for it in a way by being the destination for the goods of mercantilist economies the world over, but given the utter lack of awareness and shortsightedness of the average American one can assume that they are just happy to have all the cheap stuff. Our economy is as hollow as the average citizen's head.
