Episode Details

Is America suffering from a self-inflicted and incurable political illness? In this episode, we examine how U.S. foreign aid often funds our competitors—and even our enemies—while draining our economy and undermining national interests. The problem isn’t Japan or any other nation making shrewd use of our money; the problem is us. Rooted in a costly belief that dollars can save the world, our foreign policy reflects a deeper national foolishness—one that no amount of spending can cure.
