Well, he can't just give it away without Congressional approval. I'm assuming State ran this by the Hill before he made the offer. Then State will draft the legislation and it will get tacked onto some other innocuous bill that probably has nothing to do with foreign assistance. Hopefully they will put some teeth into it like that the program will be administered though a US NGO or other charitable organization. If it is left up to State, they'll just dump it over there. State Department, I'm sorry to say, has no idea how to run these programs.

I have to say, for a woman that spent a good portion of her life dealing with international programs, I am very cynical about foreign aid. First of all, nine time out of ten, the people that really need it never see it. Then, the foreign governments don't appreciate it and pretty soon they are whining that it is not enough.

I'd rather see them take that $65B and spend it in the US.
