Israel does not receive the "aid", it simply takes the money and sends it to itself.

Why are we giving away money when we have so many of our own problems it could go towards fixing?

There should not be any "Foreign Aid" unless we need to install a military presence.

Foreign aid is just a sad attempt to buy friends for the US. Cancel all aid, because it don't work.

We should raze Latin America and start over. It would make a nice, warm retirement destination for Americans.
When you meet sane latinos even they will tell you the problem with their culture is that they don't take care of each other. Full stop. That's it. The same kind of 'alone against the world' and 'me and my struggle' nonsense that keeps the blacks down. So you have Dads who don't want to pay support for their kids but want to see them all the time and get treated like macho-man heros. Moms who think going to da club is more important than raising their kids. People who can't work as a team and cause insane cholo/a drama in the workplace.
Their culture IS dysfunction. Dysfunction is their culture. And that's why they need to fucking go. Especially since the restraining force of religion is waning. Any stable latinos you meet are Catholic or Mormon and were likely raised by a tough grandma-grandpa duo. The next generation won't know what married parents/grandparents or the inside of a church/temple looks like. Ask yourself what are we in for then?

I have stated this before and you have to remember that the United States is still the World Reserve Currency. To be this the other countries must have US Dollars to spend amongst themselves. If you remove American Dollars some other Country (like lets say China) would fill that void. This is basically a World Wide Welfare scam that we use to Prop up the US Dollar as a Currency.
At a base level what gives a currency power? People using it. (Think British Tally-Wack Sticks.) If Countries have none and do not use it then America’s currency looses power. It is like Veterans and how they control them through their monthly checks. Veterans have it too good to march on Washington DC and have their checks to look forward to spending each month. That is control. The same control America has over a Sheboon with 7 welfare babies. “Who’s gonna pay for them?” The Dollar World Reserve Currency System is. Foriegn Countries are on the same Welfare Dole and have structured their economies around it. That is part of what gives the Dollar it’s power.
The formation of the B.R.I.C.S. trading group and the ability for cross border trade without the dollar is a form of warfare against the American Dollar Foriegn Reserve Currency status. That in my mind kicked off WW3 for the world, challenging the Petro Dollar. America was forced to act. Or face utter defeat through bankruptcy on the World Stage. If all the countries stop using the dollar or try cash the Foriegn US Welfare Dollars. America would be dilluged or drowned in worthless notes.
More than a few Economists have pointed out a couple of the views or points I expressed and I pieced the rest togethet by living in the World Wide Welfare State of the United States dollar. I have to re-iterate this for Voat every six months or so for the Newbies. I need to make a copy pasta.
