Foreign Aid Boost Is Expected in Bush Budget
Funds for President's Initiative, the Millennium Challenge, Would Double to $3 Billion

By Paul Blustein
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, February 6, 2005; Page A06

President Bush will propose a substantial increase in foreign aid in the fiscal 2006 budget that he will submit to Congress tomorrow, although the boost for one of his signature aid programs will fall well short of the amount he promised.

Budget figures show that Bush will propose $9.5 billion for bilateral humanitarian and development assistance, about $2.1 billion more than the current level. That would make aid one of the few areas of nondefense spending to get an increase under a budget that administration officials have described as the most restrained in years.

The main reason for the increase is a proposal to double, to $3 billion, the spending by the Millennium Challenge Corp., a new agency set up under a presidential initiative to direct aid to poor countries with sound policies...

You know as well as I do that this is really just a start. The US citizens always give more.
