A lot of people didn't like the idea of helping out the European countries. They didn't want to spend American taxpayers' money to help other countires that couldn't even pay off their debts from World War I. However, others thought that the Marshall Plan was a good use of American money. People believed that only a flourishing Europe could stay away from, and resist communism. The U.S even offered the same aid to the USSR. But the U.S wanted Russia to make some political reforms and let there be some outside control.(They refused) People wanted European countries to not be communist because they were afraid that America could fall to communism too. Americans also thought that the Marshll Plan was good because they wanted to expand markets for the U.S, and only when Europe was doing well, could they help give us new markets.
