We wont be any good to anybody if we turn to a 3rd world country. I think America is still considered the most generous nation.
I dunno just seems to me you can't give if you ain't got.
I try to be generous when I can. Which isn't often enough. But I have only me to take care of me.... So I wonder if America is ever in a bind, would there be foreign aid from other nations to help us.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmm. | Our foreign aid buys alot of "influence" that is necessary to keep some semblence of order in the world. It would be nice to have an isolationist attitude and forget about what's going on in the world but the bottom line is we are a leader and should help others...that's what we do. Although we have poverty in the U.S. at LEAST here you have the CHANCE to succeed...some just choose to do otherwise....There are people in a lot of places that would give their left leg to have the chance that those have and blow here in the U.S.
