Agreed.
My point is that the well-being of each and every Citizen is more important than the entirety of the population of the mid-east or Asia.
If we don’t have the money to take care of our own, we SURE as heck don’t have the money to play ‘Regime Change’ or intervene in European games.
Who's "we", Kemosabe? Fed.gov shouldn't be "taking care of" people; that responsibility belongs to private individuals and the civil society.

You're reasoning from a false premise. The job of Fed.gov is to protect and defend these United States against enemies foreign and domestic. I prefer to deal with foreign enemies before they land on our shores. Keep the "war's desolation" "over there".
That doesn't mean I favor every (or any) particular foreign war. Just that I'd rather do warmaking "over there" rather than "right here" if we have to do it.
You mentioned "AIDS education" in your post to the other guy. "AIDS education" is not part of Fed.gov's charter either here or there.
