In 2014 the US paid billions of dollars in foreign aid. See below for top 5. Why?

Israel   3.1 billion
Egypt   1.5 billion
Afghanistan    1.1 billion
Jordan          1.0 billion
Pakistan      $933 million

If we can afford to pay that much money to foreign countries we must  be very rich in which case deficits/debt are meaningless. Aren't they?

    Influence and/or military bases. understanding how the world works is self evident. Tis not necessary to like it and what's a billion to a trillion never paid back anyway? The money is imaginary, backed by promises. This post was edited by O-uknow at December 27, 2016 8:01 AM MST
