Should India increase or decrease foreign aid spending?
The budget reveals that the Indian government’s foreign aid expenditures will reach $1.3 billion in 2014-15 — more than double New Delhi’s anticipated net foreign aid receipts of $655 million that financial year. New Delhi’s foreign aid spending has been rising steadily since 2009-10. Between 2013-14 and 2014-15, Indian foreign aid expenditures are slated to increase by 18 percent.

Decrease India has its own problems and cannot afford to give aid to any other countries
@9CRGKXNBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
Grant of Foreign Aid should be linked to directly accruable gains to National interest and not for altruistic reasons.
@9CRBBVQIndependent10mos10MO
Increase, but only to our neighbouring countries

If it helps India's national interests.. increase.

Increase, but only in a strategic way. Ensure that we target countries that can serve as a military base, and countries with rich food production.

Increase, for countries that have desperate humanitarian crises, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Decrease, but continue to aid countries that have desperate humanitarian crises, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism
@93WQTWH2yrs2Y
Decrease and pour that money into local infrastructure
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Decrease, and ensure that money given to countries with terrorism are not given to terrorism but to help citizens. Withdraw aid to countries who give it to terrorists or are just trying to leech off of America's richness.
@8TMFV7P2yrs2Y
Decrease, until we eliminate our deficit and we should not give foreign aid to countries with human rights violations nor countries that harbor or promote terrorism
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Increase, but only for countries with no human rights violations and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism. If our national budget deficit increases, we decrease foreign aid spending until we drastically reduce our budget deficit.
@93673YZ2yrs2Y
Decrease, and invest in public programs
@92ZYZRW2yrs2Y

I am satisfied with the current spending amount, but ensure that foreign aid doesn't go to human rights violation or terrorist organizations.
@9268RLG2yrs2Y
I think the U.S should help other countries to gain allies. but i do not think that we should spend more money on our other countries.
