To not do it would open congress up to blistering attacks, so they'll all sign on to the "stimulus" because it's politically expedient.

Under the circumstances I would agree. Take it from foreign aid and give to USA

Foreign aid is a small drop in the bucket compared to the $2 trillion stimulus

Not if it is paid by deficit spending, for sure. Were we in a budget surplus, I am all for it.
