I think that our foreign aid should be given ONLY to countries that support us. If I were passing out money in the neighborhood, I wouldn't give it to the neighbor that borders the south end of the property. He is a big time nutter who has made trouble aplenty not only for me but for many others in the neighborhood. I don't want to "enable" him .

Have light saber. Will travel.
This poll seems a little biased with 4 Yes answers. I think the expense of our military acting as the worldwide police far outweighs the foreign aid of all of the rest of the world put together.

Why give aid to people who do not like us and do not appreciate it? Do you think money can but love?

I provided plenty of non-Yes answers for you to choose from.

Remember, you always have the option not to participate in a poll that you don't like.

Fesarius butts in--I'm going to guess that that was being done intentionally--for a reason having to do with yesterday. But I could be wrong....

Yes but the question is what does "fiscally possible?" mean?

I am closing this thread

1) At my own request (the thread starter).
2) Accusations of Bias
3) Wording of the poll question is apparently ambiguous.
4) Half of the replies are off-topic.

Personal comment…

Since this thread has gotten sidetracked so quickly, I will start another poll.
