That is actually a good idea, Clavus. I think that in a time of need, people should look inward and find the strength and courage to help themselves. I applaud the hard work performed by dedicated people.
Wait a minute... What if cutting off foreign aid causes animosity from countries who depend on it?
What if they then start to chant "Death to America"?
What if said country sends terrorists to blow shit up, and you guys then proceed to divert international aid funding towards domestic causes?
Uh oh.
I think I will have to change my original statement.
