"Our Own" = billionaires, fellow politicians, and corporations. No one elses needs apply.

Exactly .... national aid means helping billionaires and share holders of major corporations

There is always debates, discussions, arguments and special committees when it comes to talking about helping people who actually need help to stay alive or even lead decent lives in their own country.

Giving money to billionaires? It's never a question of 'if' ... it's always a question of 'how much'.

A lot of people assume the US is just giving money mostly like cash too when a majority is really military equipment/training. It's kind of a win for the US because it supports their political goals in the region, gives them a chance to test weapon systems in real conditions, replace these weapons with more modern and advanced versions for the US military, and the money "paid" for these systems also mostly stays in the US economy anyway.
