Congress votes to give away another $12,700,000,000 Ask most Americans about "foreign aid" and their blood pressure zooms. They’ve heard the horror stories over the years about the rampant waste and fraud that often prevents aid from ever reaching those it was supposed to help. In 1982, a U.S. Senator’s office set out to find the cost of foreign aid from 1946 up until that time. It proved to be a huge task. When interest on borrowed money was added in (yes, much of the aid had to be borrowed before we could give it away!) the estimated total cost was over $2.3 trillion! And that was over 17 years ago. Even if it were shown that some foreign aid has been beneficial, there is no authorization for such spending in the U.S. Constitution. But, on August 3rd, 385 members of the House voted for a $12.7 billion foreign-aid giveaway. If your congressman was one of them, ask him why.
