If our policy is to stop helping as a nation state, that means you have to stop giving aid as well. This doesn't mean the citizens of the nation couldn't give privately, if they chose. It just means the federal government no longer uses public funds to give to other nations.

Would you agree?
How does that logic hold up? If you stop giving military aid (which can be a fairly fluid term) you have to stop giving all aid? Why?

Kind of like saying "I'm a man, sharks are man eaters, therefore there must be sharks around here."

Many countries supply aid without giving or including their military in that aid.
