Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

Bush's administration did show a preference for aiding countries that aligned with American values, such as democracy and human rights. However, this was not an absolute rule, and aid was still given to countries with human rights issues when it was strategically beneficial.

Neutral

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit
