Voices supporting VOA
‘cost’
Broadcasting America’s voice and viewpoints to the world costs the average taxpayer roughly $2.25 a year. Experts say VOA is far cheaper at promoting U.S. values than almost any other method the U.S. government could use, including diplomatic efforts or military involvement.
