Foreign Aid

In my opinion, our government should not be borrowing money to give to foreign countries (including China and Russia) when we have a $34+ trillion dollar national debt. The interest alone will be our government's second largest expense in 2024. Sadly, there appears to be no accounting for where the money goes; I suspect a lot of it winds up in the hands of corrupt officials. It's like we have become the "sugar daddy" for the rest of the world.

What triggered this post was former President Donald Trump saying that "all foreign aid should be issued as loans from this point forward, rather than giveaways". What a great common sense approach to reducing our debt! Unfortunately, because the idea came from Trump, the current administration will never consider it.
