In Novemeber of 2011, Herman Cain participated in the national security debate on CNN. He was asked about international aid and states that he would prioritize aid.
BLITZER: All right, here's the question. Can the United States afford to continue that kind of foreign assistance to Africa for AIDS, malaria -- could run into the billions of dollars?
CAIN: It depends upon priorities. Secondly, it depends upon looking at the program and asking the question, has that aid been successful.
In other words, let's look at the whole problem. It may be worthwhile to continue. It may not. I would like to see the results.
Just like every program we have here domestically, what have the results been. Then we make a decision about how we prioritize.
