I believe that the foreign aid given to Sub-Saharan Africa is a huge waste of money. While there will be money needed to get their economy rolling, it should not be to the extent that is it. I think that instead of giving those countries the money, we should be teaching them how to earn the money and use it to develop their country. Sort of like do we give them fish, or teach them how to fish. I go with the later since that can be used for many years down the road and not just until the money runs out.
Another reason why the foreign aid should be cut is because part of it, if not most, is being embezzled by individuals anyway. If the money we give them is not going to be put to use for the public, then why would we give them money at all. This is why we should help Africa to set up governments and stimulate their economies with the goal of making African countries independent from foreign aid, for the most part.
