I would fund this through some kind of trade agreement with other countries. Let the Americans live in your country for three months, they will spend thier money in your stores, they will learn about you and possibly take you into consideration when they do things like vote for people, etc.
So you're willing to dole out for the millions on welfare to see south america etc, when some of the lower socioeconomic schools are full of kids that can't even speak normal english? Been to louisiana lately? LOL

I'd rather get them caught up, then they can afford their own travel when they have a decent job. Think about that.

Let's not forget that many people don't have the cash to buy trinkets and other tourist items all day, either. Gov't funded plane tickets, room and board, AND locally made gold necklaces? Sign me up...sheesh.

One more thing - you really think the ones that make the decisions will voluntarily decide to take a cut in pay so some ghetto kid can smoke weed in holland? Ha.
