I have an idea.

Let France give as much money as the USA is giving around the world, than they can talk about charity.

How many times did we bail out france? Two World Wars, Vietnam, The Franc, their train system, the Marshall plan.

Since we the USA have given so much, perhaps we should now stop giving aid, defend our borders using the troops we have in Europe, and tell the world, We have had enough of solving your problems. SOLVE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS now.
