Why do we keep giving money to that one country then? Because the political benefits pay off for the politicians. So those same benefits could apply from foreign medical aid, but we don't value helping others less fortunate?
Ugh I hate that as well! But unfortunately they have bought our politicians.
I’m hoping that after Trump both sides can bow up popular pressure to stop supporting them. In younger generations in both the left and right there is less star struck awe at the mention of that country, so I’m hopeful.
