We should give limited aid to those whose behavior is in our best interests. We should cut the cord with any country embarrassing us or acting against our interests. Want to be your own country? Okay by me. But I keep my cash. You know who - are you listening?

50,000 troops in Japan, and Japan would be happy to see them out. The biggest receiver of aid is Israel, for more guns, and more hatred of America

The U.S. should not give foreign aid to any country unless the taxpaers, who are giving it, decide where the money should go.

Obama administration is pumping money in to deepen the U.S.-Indonesian partnership, including $165 million for a major education effort, $136 million for climate change programs and $15 million for civil society programs. US foreign aid to Israel will rise by US$225 million in fiscal year 2010. Israel can spend up to 25% of the sum for defense purchases US President Barack Obama signed last week the foreign aid budget law for 2010 which includes the granting of US$2.775 billion in security aid to Israel. US foreign aid to Israel will rise by US$225 million in fiscal year 2010. Annual aid to Israel under the MOU is to rise from $2.55 billion in 2009 to a ceiling of $3.1 billion in 2013, and it will remain at that level for the rest of the period. Like in previous years, Israel can spend up to 25% of the sum for defense purchases from Israeli manufacturers, and the remainder must be spent for defense purchases in the US. Egypt will receive $1.3 billion in aid in 2010, and Jordan will receive $540 million. The budget signed by Obama, for the first time, also grants $500 million to the Palestinian Authority. The aid also includes $100 million to be used by US General Keith Dayton, who is in charge of training the Palestinian security forces in the West Bank. This is a small part of it.and yes we should stop it.
