I dont know what word was censored, but I can guess it isnt a polite word or any word meaning intelligent.

But hep, there's many on here who would be cheering against America, they already do.

Interesting facts... this is how much the US spent on foreign aid each year.

2016 - $50 billion (B)
2017 - $48B
2018 - $48B
2019 - $49B
2020 - $52B
2021 - $53B
2022 - $70B
2023 - $56B


You can see that there's not a significant YOY difference, except for a one-time increase in 2022 in Economic Development due to the bipartisan (86-11) Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022.


It's also interesting to see that Trump "cut off funding to the West Bank and Gaza and re-routed money from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala - where most of those who attempt to migrate to the US originate - to Colombia and Venezuela."


I guess it's no big surprise, then, that we cut off financial assistance to select countries, and shortly thereafter they began having economic problems that led to wars and mass emigration.
