Growing the Debt: US resumes $1.6B in aid to Pakistan
I just can't believe this! The debt ceiling was just lifted and the amount of debt is going up every day. I think it is not fair for us, because U.S. citizens are working hard and paying taxes to the government, but our government is spending on foreign aids. We are not getting much out of Pakistan, so why are we wasting our money? Pakistanis don't work for us and they don't pay taxes to the government. It is not much different from going to a restaurant and ask the employees to let you eat for free. I understand building relationships with other countries is good, but we also have to think about our citizens.

While I agree that we shouldn't be sending aid to many foreign countries, $1.6 billion isn't that much to our government. They spend more than that every hour of the day.
