Carrol, I don't think the slogan "Stop all foreign aid" is defensible. Since the US has historically emitted a huge amount of CO2 into the atmosphere, the US owes the developing nations a lot of aid to compensate them for the cost of climate change and to help them pursue a development path based on renewable energy. Almost nobody is talking about this, this is not part of common consciousness. If the Left promotes the slogan "Stop all foreign aid" they co-operate with this conspiracy of silence and put themselves in opposition to the necessities dictated by the present climate emergency.
