US Taxpayer-Funded Foreign Aid Received by 150/192 Countries in the World!

 That's us dishing-out an allowance to 
over 78% of the nations in existence...


Thanks US taxpayers- but most of them still hate you anyway.

And if you feel like a chump- you should: we'll be paying for this dubious investement (+interest) ad infinitum: America doesn't have any money to be giving-away in the first place, all discretionary federal spending is in-effect borrowed these days...


Maybe for a start we could cut-off, say, Moscow or Beijing... 
or so you'd think!


The interactive foreign aid map linked below tells all... click on a country and all the relevant numbers come up. You can view each aid program individually, and there's also useful "freedom", "corruption" and "development" filters...


It's hard to see where this ceaseless no-end-game-in-sight 'global stimulus' has done much to stoke our diplomatic/strategic fortunes... the United States seems less admired and respected than it has been in decades.  

But alas, when any approach isn't cutting it, this bewildered administration tends to serve-us-up more of the same failed policy, doubling down on previous errors... and Barack Obama has long called for doubling of direct US foreign aid to over $50B... great.
