From newshour: Bringing back this graphic from the archive after foreign aid spending came up in President Obama’s Google Hangout. Polls consistently show Americans overestimate the percentage of the U.S. budget used for foreign assistance. -TG For what it’s worth, I’ve always wondered if we could calculate how much international good will we earn for every dollar we spend. We could then compare that to how much we lose for every dollar in military spending. My guess is that foreign aid is one of our greatest—even if smallest, under used, and under appreciated—foreign policy assets.
