Despite the hundreds of non-governmental organizations and the continued outpouring of foreign aid, East Africa remains as a region overwhelmed by extreme poverty.

I'm the ranking Republican on the foreign aid appropriations subcommittee, so I know Tunisia well.

Foreign aid projects have pumped billions of dollars into the Afghan economy.

A majority of people in these surveys also said that America gives too much aid--but when they were asked how much America should give, the median answers ranged from 5 percent to 10 percent of government spending. In other words, people wanted foreign aid 'cut' to an amount five to ten times greater than the United States actually gives!

Foreign aid is not something the vast majority of Americans support, but definitely not conservatives.

The Mexicans bowed down when we talked about removing their foreign aid, and then they began cooperating with our country.
