The thing I don't see discussed enough is this foreign aid isn't the United States writing a check to other countries.

It's all subsidies for US companies.

Look at the Ukraine situation. We take expiring weapons worth 20 billion dollars and sell them for 70 billion. (Had we kept them for 10 years rather than sell them, they'd have cost us 1 billion to decommission them due to the toxic waist and radiation involved.)

On top of this we froze 300 billion in Russian assets. (Which we have sold to pay off the 70billion.)

People act like we are writing checks and are out of pocket... But that's not how the scam works. When you donate money YOU always make money. (If you are a corporate or government entity.)

Doge selling appreciating assets like land, to pay down debt is crazy making. We sold billions in office space for pennies on the dollar in no bid contract deals. What?

Musk takes 38 billion in US subsidies currently.

Again, they are looking to cut snap benefits.

Those are just subsidies to US grocery stores. People think we are cutting checks and handing it to homeless people. No. The check is to Kroger.

The government paying Americans to do work is a good thing.
