allAfrica.com: Africa: Foreign Aid Supports U.S. Economic Growth, Clinton Says

allAfrica.com: Africa: Foreign Aid Supports U.S. Economic Growth, Clinton Says: "The secretary of state said two clear historical examples demonstrate how financial returns can flow from investments to help other nations regain stability and prosperity in the aftermath of war. The United States contributed tremendous levels of aid to help rebuild Europe after World War II and South Korea after the Korean War. Today, both are major trading partners, each year buying U.S. exports worth far more than the initial investments."
