Can you please tell me who make it possible for the US to lend as much as they do?
Na!! Don't EVEN THINK OF GOING THERE!!!

If you are talking about "US Aid" - almost all Western countries give more aid as a % GDP than the US. The other strange thing is .. this "aid" is always tied to some deal :-)

An example.. 100 million to Zambia as "aid" - in comes a deal on condition of the aid which means "We give you $100 million in aid and you give us $200 million in diamonds" (or whatever). I'd be please to give aid all day long on those terms

The other irony is... who damned financed the aid in the first place - cos the US ain't got any "real" money? Guess!!

Nice one was the "aid to Israel... to "support an ally". Pull that aid contract out and it says "We will give you $X billion aid and in turn you will give us a nice contract worth $X billion for us to supply you will gunships and arms" Pathetic hyprocracy from a load of arms dealers purporting to be a nation of the "righteous"

Sadly.. that supposed "on-the-side-of-God" benevolent aid bullshit is a misused term for "greedy consuming assholes" :-)
