Yes, I know. But included in foreign aid are our efforts in the Middle East nation building, as well as the $8 billion a year we give/loan to Israel and the 50K troops we keep in South Korea and on and on. Add up all the billions here and there and pretty soon you have a trillion.

Just curious, Chris. Was it the French that were paying for all of our ships, airplanes, soldiers, etc. that were/are down there?

Uh....you need to do some serious fact-checking:

"The U.S. State Department said it has given about $675 million through the U.S. Agency for International Development."

That is in addition to the cost of the mammoth US military effort to bring food and water to thousands down there.
