'driven by'? What are these weasel words about?
We can't afford it.
We borrow to give it.
We pay the interest on that borrowing FOREVER!
They have less debt than we do, no matter how you measure it.
Why should we borrow to give them money when we have worse debt?
Who do you care about? Americans, or foreigners?

I DO CARE ABOUT ALLIES. America First has NEVER meant America ONLY. And the most reliable ally we have in the world is Israel.
