$37 Billion Dollars go to poor countries (Afghanistan), while the US is Trillions in debt. Should the US cut foreign aid? I voted "Yes."

Not to the poorest countries.

Not a single dime should go to wealthy nations in the form of regular aid, military aid, mutual defense agreements, or anything else.

Cut all aid. Most of the money ends up in the pockets of local despots.

No foreign aid until we have a budget surplus!

The US should cut aid to ALL countries including the UN. The US should go back to Isolationism until it can get itself back in order.

Meh. It wouldn't accomplish much if we did.

Last I checked foreign aid was about 1.7% of the entire US annual budget.

The US should cut all foreign aid until all debt cleared up.

We should toss the UN bums into the Atlantic IMO.
