“It’s one thing to hear, or read about, the staggering number of U.S. dollars that get doled out to foreign nations. It’s another to actually see it visually on a map. As you can see, with very few exceptions, just about every single nation in the world receives U.S. taxpayer money. How can this be? How can a nation that is $16 Trillion in debt possibly hand out even a dime? Imagine going up to the average college kid with a student loan debt of $26,600 and asking him/her for a large amount of money. They’d look at you like you were crazy.”
