U.S. official foreign aid: $13 Billion.

The military budget might (will probably) rise, dunno if it has already happened.

Hmm.. I obviously hit a sore point..
I'm asking if you as a American think it's right to use $400 billion on war and $13 bill. on aid, but it seems like I struck a nerve..
Just don't answer if you don't have a opinion on it, or don't wish to explain.

Engel if a millionaire has gives $20 dollars to a charity, and someone earning minimum wage gives $10 dollars, then while the figure may be more, the poorer person is giving more.  The US gives fuck all for what it earns.

But the millionare gave more didn't he?

Does the person on the recieving end of the charity really care how much the person that donated the money makes?
