yes, which makes the whole situation even more foolish! foreign aid is a joke, it causes far more problems than it solves. it often gets dismissed as low level thinking in these types of debates, but the fact that so much shit is wrong over here yet we still give around 3 billion a year to israel( it's probably much higher than that, deceitful governments and all) as well as whatever we give to their enemies is borderline insane! why not take a small portion of that money, buy up as many $500 homes as we can in detroit, bulldoze them, and turn the area into an industrial hemp farm? while not a solution to all our problems, it's a start!
