Did you know only 1% of the U.S. budget goes to foreign aid? Bill Gates speaks about why aid is more important than ever. When the economy is weak, the poorest countries suffer the most.
Unfortunately Gates has convinced the US Government to spend many millions promoting genital mutilation (circumcision) in Africa, as a purported HIV prevention method. Pure quackery, all at the taxpayer's expense.
Not to mention that the amount that goes to foreign aid is a drop in the bucket. $140 million for a program is a lot, but it's also a rounding error compared to $14 trillion.

Sorry Mr. Gates, I'm for cutting all foreign aid. It is immoral to steal from American taxpayers to give to other nations.
Let it all be done by charity.
