End foreign aid; keep our dollars at home
There has been a great deal of talk about reducing the deficit and balancing the budget. But I'm not hearing much about what we're going to cut. I suggest that senators Toomey and Casey and congressman Shuster do something about the billions of dollars we are giving away to other countries every year.
We need to put an end to foreign aid. It's that simple. If the other depressed economies around the world want to continue to pour money into other countries, let 'em have it. If these countries want foreign money to prop up their economies, let them get it from the corporations that have been leaving America to take advantage of their cheap labor.
We give away billions annually. All we get is kicked in the head and publicly abused for it. Let's divert this money into our own infrastructure. The American people pay taxes for the benefit of their own, not for those who disrespect us and use us as a bottomless pit of money.
Officials should do something to legislate a change in this practice. Let's keep our money at home where we need it and can use it to fix our current economic mess.
