A Complaint About Conservative Views

This initial post (plus this correction) reveal a fascinating pattern that emerges from asking self-identified conservatives about the spending cuts they'd want to see.

Comment: Rich countries have a general agreement that they should devote 0.51 percent of GDP to foreign aid. That is fifty cents per $100. The United States devotes less than 0.2 percent of GDP to foreign aid, and most of that goes to battle fields such as Iraq and Iran or to fulfill commitments made in the search for peace, such as those made to Egypt and Israel as part of their peace process. Yet more than half of self-identified conservatives want to reduce that aid. That view seems very mean spirited to me!
