I wish I could believe that. If it brings more in than it costs, how come we still need to put money into the overseas aid budget every year?
If it pays for itself, why don't we just retain the income within the overseas aid budget and use that for grant aid purposes, thereby reducing the burden for the taxpayer? I would certainly find that acceptable.
