Same as on a small scale. It's been proven time and again that helping people is way more cost effective than policing them. It's common in modern cities with a high quality of living to see things like free public transportation because cities realized they were paying more for police to try to catch or prevent fare dodgers than they were losing lost fares.
No one wants to live in a poor neighborhood. On a small scale you can move to a "better" place and forget those poor people exist. That cannot happen on a global scale (yet).
Solving the economic problems of central America would be way more cost effective than any dumb wall.
They constantly give money away, bailing out banks, industries that can't adapt to the times, billionaires, etc. Why wouldn't we give it to other countries since we practice so much socialism at home?
I think I agree with your sentiment, but for the record, TARP recovered $441.7 billion from $426.4 billion invested, earning a $15.3 billion profit. The banks paid the 2008 bailout back with interest.
The more recent one leaves me a little salty. If you invest more than 250k in a bank heavily invested in crypto, I don't know if we should help you.
If the Western world does not do it, then China will do it. That country will then be closer to China, which is also bad for you. Strategically and economically....
Giving money does not necesseraly mean: "Here is $3 bln. Have fun. We don't need anything in return."
What is a trillion more debt
So you are saying we should cut all aid to Israel immediately? Great idea!
It's cheaper than not doing so.
