The U.S. Dedicates roughly one percent of a several trillion dollar budget to foreign aid and development. The majority of this international aid goes to third world countries with corrupt governments housing international terrorist organizations to include Afghanistan, Iraq and Egypt. The U.S. has no clear evidence that these funds don't find there way to organizations that arm the very insurgents that are killing our troops. Furthermore several million dollars go to very developed countries such as Russia. These funds can and should be better allocated toward our own country. We are currently crawling out of a huge recession and need these extra funds more than ever to enhance and develop the citizens of the USA rather than citizens abroad.
