Original Note:
Opinion polls consistently show Americans believe foreign aid is in the range of 25% of the federal budget. When asked how much it should be, they say about 10%. In fact, at $62.2 billion for fiscal year 2023, foreign assistance is less than 1 percent of the federal budget. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/what-every-american-should-know-about-u-s-foreign-aid/ https://www.brookings.edu/articles/what-is-us-foreign-assistance/#:~:text=There%20is%20a%20strong%20legacy,1%25%20of%20the%20federal%20budget.
