Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) suggested on the House floor that because the phrase "humanitarian aid for women and children in Afghanistan" is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, such aid is unconstitutional.
You’re painting a false dichotomy. We can take care of all these domestic issues, and we can give foreign aide. It wouldn’t even be hard, it would require a small fraction of the military budget or a slight to most increase of taxes on corporations and the ultra rich.
But some people don’t want to give money to poor/starving people, regardless of how much it costs. You could end all foreign aide and all the money would just go… somewhere else that isn’t poor people’s pockets.
