Re: Overseas aid
Our tax money, and that of other rich countries, is being used to grease the wheels on commerce and industry around the globe. Some gain income through employment due to this, but the majority of the profit goes to the bosses.
Some areas are seeing a collapse in their farming industries, and free donations of food undercut local farmers who either give up, or fall in line with, for example, EU demands for production of out-of-season crops for EU consumption.
And in many countries there is no Social Security, so families are large so that income for hard times and support of the sick and aged is possible but not guaranteed. Very hard times are predicted for many areas of the globe due to famine and drought, so mass migration or death will occur. The migration scenario has already started, with many homing-in on the richer areas of the world for support and shelter. But we can't feed and house them all, no matter how dire their circumstances are.
