Some 73 percent support scaling back foreign aid.

I agree. Like my mom says charity begins at home. Some argue that it's not that much of the budget. In fact it is a large part of our spending. I think a lot of our military spending is overseas and is in fact foreign aid. How many civilian workers do we have working in the State Department or other departments involved in off-shore activities? How much money do we spend in Afghanistan and Iraq? Thanks George.

At least in the Gulf War the other countries pitched in to help pay.

Clinton had a balanced budget even when we spent money in Bosnia.

Shoot we paid for the Marshall Plan in Europe and rebuilt Japan after World War II. What do we have to show for it?
