I'm not saying we should stop all federal foreign aid. There are certainly some countries that need the money or their people will perish.

I think that the money we spend on developed countries, like Israel, would be better off being spent here.

To answer the next question: 'we're damned if we don't" If American chooses to keep ignoring the problems that our communites face (public education and so on ) it only results in the next generation being more ignorant as a whole and even more poorly prepared for life. Not just that, but also resentful when they see the massive amounts of money being poured out to countries they've never heard of.

America seems hell bent on helping everyone, even at the expense of her own. And that is the wrong attitude to take, in my opinion.

and thank you for yourinput.
