We have a massive budget defecit, yet many of the people who so vocally criticize the president for incurring this debt insist on giving away our money rather than paying off that defecit. Where is the logic in all of this?

Personally, I have no problem giving aid in the form of food, Peace Corps, and medicines that go directly to the people. Any other aid, such as that sent to Saudi or Isreal or to governments and not the people........ then cut it to 0.
We don't even have a strong education or infrastructure, and yet we give billions to prop up governments that do nothing for their people.
