This article touches on something I never before gave much thought to. It said that contrary to what most people think, only 1% of government funding goes to foreign aid. Before reading this article I did not think much about how our foreign aid comes back to help our economy but this article made it clear. It said that if we add aid to countries in need it will boost our own economy by increasing the amount of trade with the needy countries. This has changed my view on our foreign investment.
This article sheds light to the idea that investing in Africa would build a middle class. A larger middle class would mean more trade with African countries and in turn build our economy stronger.
