FOREIGN AID Foreign aid, about 1 percent of federal spending, is a cost-effective tool for keeping America strong, safe and prosperous and is vital in helping Israel counter increasing threats in the region.
FOREIGN AID Foreign Aid—Key Principles BOLSTERS AMERICAN SECURITY: Foreign aid is an essential component of U.S. national security strategy that complements American military efforts and promotes successful and effective overseas operations. KEEPS AMERICA SAFE: Foreign aid helps prevent unstable areas from becoming breeding grounds for terror, disease, poverty and lawlessness that can spill over into other countries and directly threaten American interests. CREATES JOBS AT HOME: In today’s globalized economy, U.S. foreign aid helps grow markets for American companies; create stable business environments in developing countries; and bring education, health care and transportation to hundreds of millions of potential new customers. PROMOTES STABILITY AND DEMOCRACY: U.S. assistance helps save lives and create sustainable institutions and accountable governance, all of which advance economic development and political stability around the globe. SUPPORTS KEY ALLIES SUCH AS ISRAEL: Vital U.S. security assistance to Israel helps the Jewish state maintain its qualitative military edge and feel secure in pursuing diplomatic talks. BACKED BY REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRATIC, AND MILITARY LEADERS: Former presidents, secretaries of state and defense, lawmakers and senior military leaders agree that a robust foreign aid budget is as essential as a strong military in maintaining America’s preeminent leadership position around the globe. 102
