According to the CATO institute, the United States is giving billions of dollars to poor countries located in Sub-Saharan Africa. Should we give them money or should we teach them how to develop?
I think we need to a little of both. I do not think immediately cutting funds will help them in any way. We need to slowly decline in what we give them while teaching them how to grow in trade, industry, and infrastructure. If we are providing for their every need, why would they ever need to learn to supply for themselves? If they are reliant on the aid of others, they will never learn to accomplish anything independently. They are in an area that needs globalization to take over. With their land, they are not able to farm sufficient amounts of food to feed their nations. They need to begin to trade. Countries who are currently reliant may not be very respected. They have not started the process of globalization to accelerate their economy. We need to eventually stop giving aid. I say eventually because an immediate cut could result in chaos. As we teach these countries to be involved in globalization, we need to lower the amount of funds they are receiving.
