U.S. foreign aid budget

We talked in class last week about the budget and how a small fraction of it is devoted to foreign aid. The U.S. and Israel recently agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for approximately $38 billion in military aid over the next 10 years. This $3.8 billion per year is budgeted into Obama’s $50.1 billion foreign aid budget for FY17. This Washington Post piece on foreign aid is a perfect introduction as to who gets what from the United States.
