Barbara Bush Says Cutting Foreign Aid Would Have 'Enormous Implications' At 'Power Of 1%' Event
At an event at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., on Monday, Barbara Bush, CEO of Global Health Corps and a board member of Population Services International (PSI), told the Daily Caller that reducing foreign aid as part of efforts to reduce the national debt would have "enormous implications for the U.S. if we don't continue the efforts that we've already started" (Ballasy, 10/3). The event marked the launch of a campaign called "The Power of 1%," sponsored by PSI, FHI360, PATH, World Vision and ONE and aimed at highlighting "the economics of global health and the benefits U.S. investments overseas have for Americans at home," according to a campaign press release (.pdf) (10/3).
