If this were not true, why would bills like the Omnibus that contained truckloads of foreign aid (PORK) need to be passed during a COVID relief bill and at dollar amounts that were so much higher than what was given to US Citizens? How much of this money is going straight into our / their elected leader's pockets? How long has it been like this? Once we know this, how long can we stand for it?

Time to put all of you in charge of our money, “You want what? For what?”

I have a better idea...how about we lower taxes and let the people keep more of their money rather than stealing it from you and I and pretending to be sending it to a foreign country for aid and pocketing it instead.
