You sound just like Woodrow Wilson or FDR!

We need to bribe or get involved with every country & dictator on earth so they won't attack us?

We don't have the money. We can't keep borrowing from China to do that.

That's why we have plastic.

We don't need money, we just want and what we want we get with plastic.

Gosh, you guys just think too much and complicate things and make it hard to just enjoy life.

Like...go with the flow and just like feel good.

We have what we have and you guys are just trying to ruin it.

Mommy and Daddy enjoyed life and WE should be able to too.

Stop all this "freedom isn't free" stuff, it's like cramping my style and making my friend like weird.

It is in our interests to make sure jihadists do not control any more countries than they already have. If we don’t support our allies (say Israel or Afgans), we will one day have to go there and finish the job ourselves.

This is what happened in 2001, if you have forgotten that.

I agree 100% that we should not be the the sponsor for the outside world. 90% of the money is outright waste, but some of the money is absolute critical to us.

For example, maybe if we had spent 2% of the Afgan war costs to foreign aid to Afghanistan in the 1990’s we would have prevented Al-Qaida to take over and 9/11 would not have happened and we would not be fighting there.
