Comment on US foreign aid package: how is it financed?
Today@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Part of the previous package was explained as… 1- send some of our old stockpiled munitions
2- pay US companies to build new ones to replenish
So it’s a value, not a lump of cash.

2- is still money though, even if it remains domestic. So debt

Would it still be pulled from the Military spend budget? (Not that it’s not debt - but if it is part of that budget it’s not exactly pulled from thin air.)
