The culture of creating this dependence syndrome should be revised and reconsidered in another dimension. My assumption is that may be we should set focus on stopping the whole "Adventure!"

It would be fantastic if they could fathom how helping others helps us. After all, the government isn't in the business of being helpful without getting something in return.

It is the story of an American who built schools in the Middle East. Please read this book. It highlights what a beautiful and rich culture lies over the ocean. It also takes into account the extreme poverty and terrorism over on their soil, which can be prevented with education, and with America living up to its promise to "rebuild" the Middle East.

When you add in the military budget to protect these nations (most who hate our guts and dictator and corrupt politicians in those nations who pocket the money) the aid amount in the above article, the corporations moving their companies to 3rd world nations for the cheap labor with millions of Americans losing jobs because of it and all other unknown factors; the cost we pay as Americans to fund programs outside the USA is staggering. America First and at a time we can pay our own bills has come and the budget is balanced and the U.S. Governement is shrunk to a size it should be and when we eliminate welfare, entitlements and all the other thigs that will very soon totally collapse our economy; then and only then we should spent a dime outside of this nation. To the people that support all these programs domestically and to foreign nations, set up a fund where you can voluntarily fund it yourselves with your money and stop stealing and forcing me to spend my money and that of my families for your failing projects and things I do not agree with including Planned Parenthood.
