Help or Hindrance? uncovers why the economic crisis in Central America has worsened as U.S. aid has skyrocketed in the 1980s. This report shows how security and military related aid, hidden under the rubric "economic aid," has far surpassed assistance for economic development, and argues that the positions of the fiscal conservatives, seeking to save U.S. taxpayers' money, and humanitarians, seeking to help the poor, are not necessarily in opposition.
