The US doesn't aid Pakistan? Wake the fuck up!

------

The United States is the largest source of bilateral aid to Pakistan. For FY2010, the United States has budgeted approximately $1.2 billion in economic assistance to Pakistan, with another $300 million pending through the president’s supplemental request. In the next few years, the United States expects to spend more than $1.5 billion a year, as authorized by the Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009. Through this bill, better known as the Kerry-Lugar-Berman bill, Congress authorized (but has not yet appropriated) a tripling of U.S. development assistance to Pakistan to $7.5 billion over five years to improve Pakistan’s governance, support its economic growth, and invest in its people.
