Each year the House of Representatives labors over the Subject of Foreign Aid.
El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, receive approximately 60 million dollars each. That is over $180,000,000.00 annually when totaled. The population total of these tree countries are approximately 30,000,000 citizens.
If the unemployment rate is 8% +/- the 2.4 million citizens should see benefits from the US Aid. However be careful the working population should be realistically at least one half of 30 million population. That would reduce the unemployed to (30million x 1/2 or 15,000,000 workers of which if 9% are unemployed) 1350000 unemployed.
Now the above numbers are assumed and could be off by major amounts. The problem is why are we sending foreign aid of these amounts to countries that will cost the United States dearly.
