Since 2008 our Nation has spent $161.7755 Billion (B) in donations through USAid to foreign governments/states with an additional $33.7491 B to be donated in 2013. This does not include administrative fees associated with these programs, which for 2013 brings the total for USAid to $51.622 B. This also excludes the $96.727 B budgeted in the 2013 for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). The total allocated in the 2013 budget for USAid and OCO is $148,349,000,000. These figures do not reflect additional funding that is allocated for foreign spending through individual department budgets. In our countries current financial crisis with domestic social programs threatened “We the People” petition to significantly reduce foreign aid and redirect those funds domestically to benefit Americans.
