I love Ron Paul's explanation of foreign aid: it's taking the money from poor people in a rich country and giving it to rich people in a poor country. Makes sense to me the more I think about it. The only argument those who advocate foreign aid seem to have is that the intention is good and it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. But does it really do anything to help poor people in the long-run?
Here's what I think we should do: Stop all government foreign aid but let private citizens donate aid if they wish. Second, stop all farm subsidies which America and especially Europe practice and lower and eliminate the trade barriers so the agricultural countries can export their cheaper food and make some money. This would help both people in both countries because as everyone who has taken an economic class knows: in free trade the gains to the winners exceed the losses to the losers. |

ok, well instead of just cutting off money, how bout you come up with a better way to get it to the people that need it then? Did that never cross your mind? How about you go to those places in Africa, and South America, and Asia, and a find a better way to get them what they need, instead of yur solution of just "cut off the money". That doesn't make sense to you? so what is yur solution then? I'm all ears. |

Whilst I think cutting aid completely would not be a good idea I find it hard to see why third world countries are still in the state they are in.
Comic Relief for instance, raises millions of pounds every year yet the problems in Africa don't improve. It's confusing. |
