House Democrats are warning Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) that not including humanitarian aid in his foreign aid package could poison it for their side, Axios reports.
Said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.): “There is no circumstance that we could support anything that does not include humanitarian aid"
Yeah, I’m sure all the people that actually do get help would otherwise recieve it from a wide plethora of other countries.
You might not like it, but the sheer economic power that is the US means that when they help… even with an amount that is a rounding error to them, they do more than most… by a lot.
Now switch back to your main account and go agree with all the tankies on one of the instances I blocked, so I don’t have to see your drivel all over Lemmy.

Sry, the second paragraph was indeed unneeded.
The US does nothing without strings attached. If it weren’t for all those strings, other countries wouldn’t need foreign aid.
Nonsense… you act as if the whole world would be a hippy paradise if it weren’t for the evil colonial powers.
The amount of savagery people bestow on one another for reasons sometimes not even know to the purpotrators is mind boggling.
