I don't mind giving money to other countries to try to solve a lot of these issues. I really don't. However, I do have a problem when people from other nations come in here and try to guilt us into doing more when they don't understand the issues we have facing our own nation right now. For example, our educational system is falling apart at the most basic levels largely due to financial issues. My wife is a teacher in one of the largest school districts in the nation which is facing a $24 million deficit next year. Helping out today in Africa is great and I am all for saving lives however I am not in favor of helping out today if it is dooming America's tomorrow. We have to fix some of our issues if we are to be able to continue helping out other nations at all.
