The current foreign aid budget should be approximately $10 billion, so that is what you have to play around with.

EDIT: Note that this assumes a rate of 0.07% of GDP. The SoEA and Senate are free to change this rate.

I guess we'll follow Greece's footsteps into bankruptcy.

Looking at that, I must have miscounted a zero. It will be revised shortly.

EDIT: Missed two zeroes. It is not revised (way) down.
