This is a really simplistic way of looking at this. Flip it around if these countries "collapse" as you say how bad is that for American economy? Could be significant if we lost that many buyers of our goods.


Just so I understand, we pay taxes, government gives it to other countries so they can buy stuff from maybe us and maybe whoever else may be selling? And it would be bad if we stopped giving money away to buy stuff from us with our own money?

Yes because money wins elections, and favors are owed.

Which countries would collapse without our money?


Apparently they all will, none of them seem to be contributing a penny for their own people.

USAID had been shuttered less than 2 days and the media was already full of stories about oxygen dependent old women dying and AIDS infected African men worried their wives would leave them.

Is there a country that we don't subsidize?


No, there isn't a country that we haven't allowed to take advantage of us. We have been ruled by a bunch of socialist cocksuckers who've enriched themselves at our expense while selling the proverbial national farm. In a just society, there would be hangings.

How specifically is funneling 100s of billions every year in the form of aid and military defense to other countries saving us money?

Not all of us. Only a portion of Americans pay taxes. So the truest phrase is…

“A portion of Americans fund an extremely large portion of lazy Americans as well as the rest of the entire world.”

So take my money and use it to pay people to buy my things?

That's retarded.
