You can't fix infrastructure and education even if you reduced aid to zero, and that would mean cutting the largest 'aid' fund, which is counter terrorism (10 billion).
lol thinking government doesn't have a monopoly now
It does, but the role of government is not to make a profit off its citizenry. However, that is precisely what a corporation's purpose is. Also what happens in areas where it's not profitable to build a road. What are you going to do then?
I guess we should just privatize the army too while we're at it right?
America gives billions and billions of dollars from tax payers' money to mainly Middle Eastern countries like Israel and Egypt; should we cut foreign aid completely and invest those money here instead on important things like infrastructure and education?
The amount we give these countries is mere pittance. We need to create and then invest $T's into our infrastructure (and educational systems). This will yield a vast number of new jobs for the current time frame, and then produce the groundwork for more future general economic expansion. We can do both if there are enough good and useful reasons.
