    the amount spent by sleepy joe and his administration during the first 2 years of his office

    is the same more or less as was budgeted by pinky

    only difference is who gets what

    but even with no facts your opinion is very interesting
    I don't recall sending 50 plus billion of our tax dollars abroad during pinky's rain.
    And open free reign borders.
    Of course pinky had that right and taxing manufacturers who go overseas and want slave laborers for cheap and sell back to America.
    And I surely don't remember Pinky selling off our stockpile of oil reserves to the communist China to make a buck.
    The FBI raid on pinky's pad was orchestrated by the higher power's to make sure pinky doesn't have any evidence of the "higher power's" involvements with Jeffrey Epsteins pedophile ways of life.
    Oh, and I'm sure pinky had some more classified material along with that.

    all i can say is your memory must be bad
    in his term he spent


    49.4 billion in 2016

    47.9 billion in 2017

    46.7 billion in 2018


    spending and budgeting of government funds are public records
    so i suggest you refresh your memory

    or take a road trip to the world famous pizza parlor and have a looksee for the mystery basement and you can find your brother conspiracists

    Each year, the U.S. spent about $47 billion. Half the aid went to Africa and the Middle East in FY2018, the latest year available for these statistics. Interestingly, despite President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda, aid to foreign countries remained virtually unchanged in the first two years of his administration. or so says forbes

    but if you want 2019 you will still need to visit the public

    congressional records

    and will see a few billion more was funded than your 50 billion threshold

    this doesn't include all military spending

    if you have any other memory failure just let me know and i'll do my best to assist

    Here is an interesting fact you won't hear on Fox News. Under the Biden administration term in the last 18 months. They created more manufacturing jobs in the USA, then they have in decades! You can cherry pick things the Democrats have done under Biden that you don't agree with. (I can too!) But on the positive side, they have done some pretty neat things too to help the average American citizens and climate change which is the Biggie!!!!!!! What positive things did Trump do???? A better border situation like they would have done on the Game of Thrones! A tax cut for the Rich and corporations, which did next to nothing in the Long run for our economy! Plus they tried to kill Obama Care 2 years before a Pandemic was going to hit! (what a disaster that would have been!) That's it!!!!! The MAGA Republicans now, have no policy agenda! Plus it looks like their trying to kill Democracy in the USA! That's a party that really has nothing to offer any solutions to any problems that you would feel! You don't hear them promoting anything in the Mid terms do you???? If they were saying anything, "how would they do it?" It's only a 2 party system. So if their is 4 things the Democrats are doing that you don't like and would benefit from 10 other things. Why vote for the other side, (Republicans) when their just the opposite. 4 things you would like and 10 things you should hate, "if you were honest and fair!"

    spending is factual

    It appears that America can just print money and send abroad more than taking care of us tax payers and America.
    Why pay us hard working tax paying people, and send our money out for some of the stupidest reasons.

    New Report: Nearly $300 Billion In Foreign Aid Spent By U.S. Government
    Adam Andrzejewski
    Former Contributor

    US Foreign Aid Spending Obligations
    U.S. Foreign Aid Summary FY2013-FY2018OPENTHEBOOKS.COM
    The American taxpayer has been generous to foreign countries. Between the years 2013 and 2018, nearly $300 billion in U.S. taxpayer money flowed as “aid” to countries outside the United States.


    Each year, the U.S. spent about $47 billion. Half the aid went to Africa and the Middle East in FY2018, the latest year available for these statistics. Interestingly, despite President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda, aid to foreign countries remained virtually unchanged in the first two years of his administration.


    This week, our organization at OpenTheBooks.com published an oversight report, U.S. Foreign Aid – How And Where The U.S. Spent $282.6 Billion, Plus Updated COVID-19 Aid & Payments To The UN And Other Agencies. Sinclair Broadcast launched the report on their National Desk and 190 local affiliates with ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX.


    Our auditors found that U.S. foreign aid dwarfs the federal funds spent by 48 out of 50 state governments annually. Only the state governments of California and New York spent more federal funds than what the U.S. sent abroad each year to foreign countries.

    U.S. Foreign Aid vs. Federal Spent By State[+]
    OPENTHEBOOKS.COM

    Many Americans would rather spend their hard-earned money elsewhere, according to polling.

    As our late honorary chairman, former U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, M.D., pointed out, “When the American people are asked what government spending should be cut in order to balance the federal budget, foreign aid programs generally top the list.”

    Do taxpayers instinctively know that they are funding choir directors in Turkmenistan, filmmakers in Peru, aid for poultry farmers Tanzania, and sex education workshops for prostitutes in Ethiopia?

    Recently, the U.S. Agency For International Development (USAID) funded $10.1 million for remedial reading programs in Zambia and Moldovia. Taxpayers in the Baltimore City Public Schools might argue that their district should receive federal aid before any foreign country.


    They’d have a point. Fox Baltimore recently discovered a junior that passed three classes in four years and ranked near the top half of his high school class with a 0.13 GPA.

    Here are our Top 10 Takeaways from the foreign aid report:

    1. The U.S. gives more money in foreign aid than any other country in the world.

    2. The U.S. spent at least $282.6 billion on foreign aid between 2013-2018—almost $47 billion on foreign aid in FY2018 alone, the latest year available.

    3. At least $14.6 billion in COVID-19 funding has gone into four foreign-related spending accounts, while billions of those dollars have yet to be allocated or spent.

    For example, the U.S. Agency For International Development (USAID) has nearly $10 billion in “emergency” COVID-19 aid to disburse and only $643 million is out the door as of June 30, 2021.

    4. The U.S. spent 78% of its FY2018 foreign aid on two areas:


    bilateral economic development programs (43%)
    military and non-military security assistance (35%)
    5. In FY2019, 23 U.S. federal agencies reported they spent $12.2 billion from U.S. taxpayers on international organizations.

    Twenty-five of those international organizations received a combined $11 billion, and 21 of those 25 took home over $100 million each.

    6. Forty-eight out of 50 U.S. states received fewer federal dollars than Washington sent to other countries in FY2018 ($47 billion).

    7. Afghanistan received $6 billion in U.S. foreign aid in FY2018, the most of any country in the world, with Israel the runner up at $3 billion.

    That year, sub-Saharan Africa received the most U.S. foreign aid of any region in the world, 27%, with the Middle East & North Africa combined receiving the second highest amount of U.S. tax dollars, 24%.


    8. Five U.S. agencies distributed the bulk of U.S. foreign aid spending in FY2018, the top being USAID ($20.1 billion), Department of Defense ($13.3 billion), and the State Department ($7.4 billion).

    9. U.S. taxpayers give at least $9.7 billion annually to the UN system through 58 separate entities, which include:

    World Food Program: $2.6 billion in FY2019
    United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR): $1.7 billion in FY2019
    United Nations peacekeeping: $1.46 billion in FY2021 for dues, $10.26 billion over the last six years
    United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNCEF): $833 million in FY2020, $5.9 billion in U.S. funding over 14 years
    UN regular budget: $685.5 million in FY2021 for dues, $2.5 billion over the last 3˝ years
    World Health Organization (WHO): $230 million so far in FY2021, $4.1 billion in U.S. funding over 14 years
    United Nations Relief Works Agency Palestinian aid: New $150 million in restarted aid announced in 2021, $6.3 billion sent from U.S. taxpayers since 1953.
    10. In 2021 the U.S. international affairs budget, which includes foreign aid and other international operations funding (but not defense spending), was over $60 billion.

    Summary:

    The federal government argues that this aid is necessary to maintain good diplomatic relations, assist allies, and encourage pro-American sentiment abroad.

    The defenders may be right. However, American taxpayer dollars flow to many entities and individuals that have nothing to do with those reasonable goals. As with all federal spending, billions of taxpayer dollars are wasted each year in fraud and abuse.


    Congress needs more to exert robust oversight and open the black box of U.S. foreign aid by posting every dime, online, in real time. America – and our foreign aid disclosures – must become accountable again.

    It appears that America has some much free money that we can send out 40-50 billion a year!
    Its about time that some foreign countries be sending US some money for a change.

    lots of luck even trying to collect on loans
    but then again the first thing our nation did after the revolution was to declare bankruptcy and stiff our creditors
