If we can afford to give billions upon billions to foreigners then we are taxing Americans too much.
Period, full stop.
I don't agree with giving more aid to non-Americans than to Americans.
Are you sure? This foreign aid is to benefit our war machinery. Are you saying you don't support this? You support bringing all of our military home?
Most American foreign aid comes with a requirement that the money is used to buy military equipment from American suppliers. It is in fact, a subsidy to the military industrial complex, and helps create jobs in the "defense industry".
So it's better for them to use our money to buy T-72 cast-offs from the Russians?
Using the money we give them mean they are not actually buying the jets. We are using trick of hand to give them away.
And keeping a high tech industry producing products, and having those people pay taxes, and those businesses pay taxes, and excise taxes, and so on.
