BREAKING – Trump to Drastically cut Foreign Aid, invest those Funds in America Instead

If America is ever going to get back to a surplus it is going to take some massive swamp draining that no Democratic candidate would ever have the stomach for.

Let’s all remember, Obama’s economic legacy is one of complete failure, taking our national debt from roughly 10 to 20 trillion in just 8 years.

Kicking the can down the road and wasting funds on “gifts” to foreign countries as Obama did is a sure-fire recipe for disaster.

President Trump meanwhile, it taking his responsibility seriously as dealmaker in chief.

Unlike Obama, who was happy to shower Iran with billions for nothing in return, Trump is going to cut foreign aid so we can put AMERICA first.

The White House budget director confirmed Saturday that the Trump administration will propose “fairly dramatic reductions” in the U.S. foreign aid budget later this month.

Reuters and other news outlets reported earlier this week that the administration plans to propose to Congress cuts in the budgets for the U.S. State Department and Agency for International Development by about one third.

“We are going to propose to reduce foreign aid and we are going to propose to spend that money here,” White House Office of Management Budget director Mick Mulvaney told Fox News on Saturday, adding the proposed cuts would include “fairly dramatic reductions in foreign aid.”

Mulvaney said the cuts in foreign aid would help the administration fund a proposed $54 billion expansion of the U.S. military budget.

“The overriding message is fairly straightforward: less money spent overseas means more money spent here,” said Mulvaney, a former South Carolina Representative.

The United States spends just over $50 billion annually on the State Department and USAID, compared with $600 billion or more each year on the Pentagon.
