Since when is foreign aid inconsistent with "common defense" and "general welfare" of the United States? Nothing in the US Constitution says that tax money can only be spent within the borders of the United States. In fact, nothing in the document prohibits the government from using money as part of American foreign policy. Nothing. Whether we "should" or not is a political question, not a constitutional/legal one.
True, but the question can go both ways. Nothing in the constitution states that we can tax Americans to pay for world poverty!
