U.S. Offers Foreign Aid to Countries Holding Billions in Treasury Securities - FoxNews.com

From Sen. Tom Coburn
Quote
"Borrowing money from countries who receive our aid is dangerous for both the donor and recipient," Coburn said in a written statement. "If countries can afford to buy our debt, perhaps they can afford to fund assistance programs on their own"

You got that right!!
Will our politicians see that, or will they holler national security issues?

 

[OntarioVanMan]

some countries have to think we are stupid....giving billions away when our own economy is in the tank and we can not even afford to help our own people....there comes a time when one just has to say whoa....all aid is suspended...sorry but times are tough at home....

Yeah we can start with Canada.

I think we gave foreign aid to Canada as part of the GM bailout for plant improvements.
