I totally agree with you. It is MORE than time to quit supplying other countries and their "needs" and take care of our own. Our foreign aid should be suspended (I, like you, would eliminate it entirely FOREVER.), as should the dues to the UN, the money headed for the Palestine Authority, money to Africa to combat AIDS, and other boondoggles too numerous to mention.

money to Africa to combat AIDS .. in the sum of $ 15 BILLION because some people can't behave themselves.
That were we need to start, cut the funding for the $ 15 BILLION Aids program to Africa, we are justified to stop the funding because we have our own national crisis.

Go look up how much of our Federal budget is spent on all of these things and get back to me. You'll be surprised how little it is.

And even if we did all the things you propose, it would have made no difference in this situation in NO.

Well said. I'm waiting for Mexico and Nigeria to start giving us low-cost oil, and other American welfare recipient nations to belly up and help with this disaster like we always help them.
