to:
-->** Many Americans get upset about the \\\"huge amount of money\\\" the government spends on foreign aid, complaining that it should be spent at home and that other nations don\\\'t appreciate it. They don\\\'t realize that foreign aid is only about 1% of the entire U.S. government budget, and most of it is military aid.
I looked up some figures and found that the amount of military aid is usually only a third of the total amount of U.S. foreign aid or less (in 2010, $15 billion of $52.7 billion--that\\\'s 28.6% of the foreign aid budget), not \\\"most\\\" as Fanra claims.
Considering Fanra added this as a response to a Real Life example about U.S. foreign aid, this also reads like disguised ConversationInTheMainPage and a {{Take That}} (saying Americans \\\"get upset\\\" over and \\\"don\\\'t realize\\\" what Fanra--incorrectly--claims is fact). Fanra might as well have ranted on end about evil Yankee imperialists using foreign aid to hock their war machines.
