ELI5: How is it technically possible for a country that's billions or trillions of dollars in debt to give billions of dollars in aid?

This isn't an ideological question (as in, why should they), but more of a "how is this possible?" question.

Simple, they collect taxes, spend some paying interest on loans, and spend the rest on programs and on aid.

In a simple way It's the same way you can go out to dinner even if you have a 120k mortgage you would take 30 years to pay off.

(This isn't really a great example, your personal debt is not really that similar to the national debt, so don't try to take the analogy to far, because it doesn't work).
