You have to understand, foreign aid have never been popular with the US public. Neither have helping the rich at the expense of everyone else.

What don't I understand? NAFTA is the law and free trade is the stated policy of the US and is not going away, even if Kerry wins. How will the US population kill free trade?
What does foreign aid have to do with this? It may not be popular, but it is also not going away anytime soon - quite the contrary. And what does helping the rich have to do with anything?
Are you on drugs?
