According to the federal government, for fiscal year 2012, “The United States remained the world’s largest bilateral donor, obligating approximately $48.4 billion—$31.2 billion in economic assistance and $17.2 billion in military assistance.” However, “obligated” funds are not the same as “dispersed.”

The U.S. disbursed $33.2 billion—$19 billion in economic assistance to 184 countries and $14.2 billion in military assistance to 142 countries. Out of the top six U.S. foreign aid recipients, five of them were Muslim countries. And yet it seems the U.S. can’t buy good press in the Middle East.

It's 442,000,000 for West Bank and Gaza

While Israel gets a cool $3.1 billion.
That 6.8 million to China is just change in the larger scheme of things. Interesting to see that we get 78 million in aid from the US and while we spend $1.6bn in foreign aid ourselves.

It's a lot of money that could be used to say, fix our education system.

It's definitely not the worst thing since slavery (Pearl Harbour and joke 9/11 are pretty bad) but it's certainly not good and needs to be disposed of quick.
