Maybe someone can explain how it is that these foreign countries can ask the US for more monetary assistance (Pakistan) when we can't dig ourselves out of our own money pit.

We give them money, but once it's gone from our shores...does anyone REALLY know that it is going for what it was given in the first place????

Where are all these billions-trillions of bucks going to come from...more taxes on us, the workers....and yet we pay out the wazu even now???

Someone...please explain, or at the least rationalize this "stupidity"

Well mate how I understand how it works is that alot of the money you "gift" to Nations has conditions attached, now some of these conditions include money must be spent on infrastructure and US companies must be utilized in these constructions/development and hence it means jobs indirectly for American Companies and the money finds it way directly back to the USA.

Read Confessions of an Economic Hitman and it all makes sense, besides you realize they just create your money out of thin air anyways ?

exactly! That's why I asked. There may be some conditions attached to the monies given...but in the long run...does anyone know where the money goes other than down the political toilet bowl???
