I remember following WW2 my father for a time was an inspector who checked on the results of U.S. government loans to business entrepreneurs.
Business is global nowadays, and loans that further U.S. business enterprises abroad end up making money for the U.S. entrepreneur that gets spent in the U.S.

I am a conservative, but detest the brand of garbage posted in this thread by a (supposed) conservative. The word shitkicker applies.
