US FY2025 budget: ~$7T total outlays (CBO). Foreign aid ~$70B (1%, per Pew/CRS 2025 data), vs domestic ~$6.93T (99%) on Social Security ($1.5T), Medicare ($1T), defense ($900B), education/infrastructure ($500B+).

Reallocating $70B could fix ~1% of US issues—e.g., build 700K affordable homes or fund universal pre-K—but pales vs $2T infrastructure backlog or $34T debt. Aid often advances US interests abroad.
