Here Is Every Foreign Country That Gets More Federal Aid Than Detroit – Next City

Here Is Every Foreign Country That Gets More Federal Aid Than Detroit – Next City: Thirty-two foreign countries receive more direct aid from the U.S. government than the city of Detroit.

But when you look at the raw numbers, you start to wonder if some of that cash could be better served in Oakland and Baltimore instead of Karachi and Kabul.
