Someone asked about references . I found the original post on another forum and wasn't sure about the accuracy ... so ....
I went to .gov, UN and Department of State sites and the numbers were the 'best' of the figures that I could find.
As I stated
Even IF you discount the modest (or low) figures, the amount of money going to foreign entities each and every year is still staggering.

What makes it very difficult to come up with a concrete figure, is the fact that much of the aid is buried in department budgets other than the State Department’s. Things like some of the military aid (weapons, etc), are buried in the Department of Defense budgets, etc. Some estimates run as high as $400 billion annually … nobody can give an exact figure because of the convoluted budgets in the various departments that contribute to the total.
