Reposted by @fedrice.bsky.socialDustin Moskovitz @moskov.goodventures.org · 02/02/2025One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now. 387169364705
