Did you know that countries the US gives foreign aid too are allowed to use that money to buy US treasuries to then earn interest on the money we gave them? What kinda fucking scam is this? They give our tax money to other countries and then make us pay interest on it too!

I also didn’t know, but realize that Israel being one of the countries is making this whole thing make sense. Sad because one of my moms greatest and oldest friends (who used to help her out more than anything when she was pregnant with me, and helped us get through a tough time financially) lives in Israel, and she’s an amazing person. I know it’s not the general population and every day folks but man, I feel for her as well as her family right now.

As a devil advocate, having a clause like that allows them to at least protect against inflation with 0 risk of losing initial investment. Nothing wrong with using bonds, treasuries, money market accounts to get interest on cash. If there was a scam, it occurs when money is sent for a purpose that isn’t in the best interest of taxpayers, or audit failures on how that money was actually spent once received (with predefined rules in place)

Foreign countries buying US treasuries is what pays for your military.

It’s wild when you realize “aid” is just another revenue loop dressed up as generosity. The money never really leaves ..it just circles back with interest. And we’re the ones holding the bag, every time

There's so much that those aids do that you'd be very upset about if you knew. I wish they'd just stop, but then again they need those aids to shackle the countries they give them to, even though they know the officials of those countries will most certainly embezzle them

So let me get this straight: The U.S. gives foreign aid → the receiving countries use it to buy U.S. treasuries → the U.S. pays them interest on the same money it gave out? That’s not just aid that’s monetized diplomacy. Is it a strategic loop or just a taxpayer-funded flex? Is this brilliance in disguise or an economic self-own?
