[@andc154]

@@andreaconroy3623 The vast majority of the money is not going to foreign aid. It is being siphoned off to the super rich. Foreign aid is small fry compared to the real problem. Which is the biggest wealth shift in history! Record profits for corporations and a massive increase in billionaire wealth is why we are struggling to feed our families. Not foreign aid. People need to stop punching down. The super rich have never had it better and they are laughing at us blaming each other.
