Every country starts at zero except Israel...why? American soldiers aren't dying because of decisions made in Pakistan, they are dying because of decisions made in Israel.

Some people seem to be confused about "beginning" and ending. Perry is saying that we should take a fresh look at foreign aid. In our thinking, we should BEGIN not ASSUMING funding for any other countries without a reason to do so. Then, we start saying "we should send $X to Pokemanland because ... , and $Y to El Pedo because ..." and once you add up all the reasons to send different amounts of aid those are the levels you end up at.
We START with zero as the assumed default for how much we support other countries and add from there. That doesn't mean we end up at zero. We just start our thinking process with the idea that Americans need that money and then figure out how much to send overseas.
