The American decision-makers probably believed that the Marshall plan was a good use of American funds because it funded European countries so that they would no longer be in economic chaos. By doing this, the European countries would be able to fight off the Soviet Union if it ever tried to make them into a communist government. Therefore, the United States was protecting its own interests because it wanted a world in which democracy was a strong government. If the many of the Europeans countries became communist, then the people in the American government believed that the United States might have fallen victim as well.
