why are we forking over money to countries that waste it?
while our own people are in need of jobs and support our government is giving away billions and billions of dollars to other countries. if the money were to be given directly to the people of these lands to build for their selves a life maybe i would not mind so much. this is money collected from the people of the united states and we should and need to know where it goes and why. we need to take care of home first and then worry about others. charity begins at home and good friends cannot be bought.

I agree with you that the issue of sending money and aid overseas is something that needs to be looked at because we have many needs at home, and as you know we have a pretty big debt problem in the US as well that isn't going to solve itself. That being said, there is a misconception about how much money we really give in foreign aid. The reality is that foreign aid accounts for less than 1% of the US federal budget. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a fan of sending billions overseas, but it isn't a budget buster all things considered.
