NoBodyImportant Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 How do you think Americans fill when you find out we gave away 70 billion in aid mostly to our enemies in 2018. Over 200 countries and most want us destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course India doesn't need our money but we have keep sending "aid" otherwise they'd send us millions more from their surplus population.

That is fishy. All the same I could use some of that so who in DC do I send my bank account details to? In return I promise to post something complimentary about President Trump.

But putting a trillion dollars in to sub Saharan Africa has gotten nowhere. Winning the hearts and minds of Afghanistan is getting nowhere.

Blackbriar Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 UK doesn't give foreign aid to India, in the sense of handing suitcases of cash over to the government. We "invest in Indian enterprises and support technical expertise......." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 28 countries in the EU, 10 of which contribute monetary wise, ( we are the 3rd biggest contributor ), the other 18 take out. The number taking out will grow as other countries join. Taking into account the money we put in minus the money we get back including all the subsidies for farmers etc. We are still paying nearly £26 million per day!

In nett terms we are the 2nd biggest contributor. Typically this is because we've never properly organised our economy around the EU system, whereas the early members - especially France - geared their agriculture to gain maximum advantage from The Common Agricultural Policy set up in 1950. By about 1970, France had massively increased the numbers of qualifying smallholdings such that their average farm size was only about 15 acres compared with about 85 acres here. France might pay slightly more in than us but they get vastly more back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
