HOw would our action help us in the United States? What suggestions do you have for people of this country who want to help people of the world gain access to clean water or to help their children to have more food supplies so that they ingest adequate calories a day to grow healthy brains?

That's why we can afford to stop disease abroad while **at the same time** helping people here in the US!! Delaying an aid increase makes no sense, since it will produce little savings, and if we wait to address health threats the cost will only be greater later on!!! That includes health threats that Homeland Security has warned about, like drug resistant TB. Biden mentioned the madrassas in Afghanistan -- how is the US going to help Afghanistan and other countries expand access to basic, quality secular education without increasing aid? What he and Obama are saying is penny-wise and pound foolish!

Although I respect your mission I feel programs like this are unnecessary and show a lack of understanding for the economic emergency our country is in. The United States was not created to be the global police/nanny and can hardly afford to tackle our own problems with poverty. I would hope that people are more concerned with issues here in the US with the economy and corrupt bureaucracies that have our nation on the verge of total collapse.

We cant afford to be the world's policeman or monther. We have needs at home and cant afford to care for everyone, expecially people that want to attack what we stand for.
