Letter: Foreign aid is small slice of budget
Saturday, February 2, 2013
Judging from my email and letters in The Columbian, it seems many people are unaware of the fact that the U.S. spends less than 1 percent of the budget on effective foreign aid programs that give millions access to AIDS treatment, vaccines and food.
It would take a very long time to pay off the debt just by cutting out foreign aid.
