AID is not really aid its more of a bribe so that corporate interests are met. The money is not free, its not like its red cross stuff or anything. It's cloak and dagger stuff like "USAID" paying for a road from shithole X in my country to shithole Y, at first glance it looks like a humanitarian project but in reality the road lies in the region of a local politicians road building company and his political party lobbied for concessions for US corporations. The local politician gets fat pockets from the "AID" the US corporations get a cloak and dagger deal because of the bribe and everybody but the people are happy.

It's a crying shame that so much US taxpayers money is spent on the personal interests of a few corporations.
