re: #417 Dark_Falcon

No, it wasn’t. We were sending aid to nations we believed would be our loyal allies, and we were right. Said nations also had reasonably honest governments, so we weren’t just pouring money down a rathole.

That sounds to me like yet another instance of being too timid to make a bold move in the face of uncertainty, with aid to emerging nations only happening if it’s a sure thing.

All this talk about Republicans being bold and taking risks is ringing hollow, when you look at the paralysis that they seem to base every decision upon.
