Huh? Brush up on your history. Most of the Marshall plan funds were grants not loans. THere was a huge debate in Congress about this.

I don't recall receiving a check for the two family members of mine with permanent parking spots in the English Channel, but that isn't my point. My point is that we can ***** and bicker with each other across the pond, but when one or the other gets in the ****, the other will be there to help shovel it out. Don't make such a big deal about such small ****.Comment

they paid back what they had to. it was in our interest to do it anyway. we helped the russians and chinese out a lot too. what did they pay us?
2nd part was a reference to our Monroe Doctrine. You know when no european country could interfere with affairs in the americas? Do you honestly think we had the military power to enforce that? Our policy but the british directly and indirectly enforced it.Comment
