[QUOTE="Rick Kent, post: 698071, member: 55129"] The US gov't does not care the same way the French, German, Russian, Chinese and Mexican gov'ts do not care about their own. Our foreign aid budget, while in the billions of dollars, is a drop in the bucket compared to the trillions we spend on everything else. I'm sure we send money to many ungrateful countries that are burning our flag and chanting about death to the great satan and we should cut them off. However, what about SSDI, Medicaid, Welfare, head of household tax credit, food stamps and school lunch programs? Not to mention the billions of dollars private charities spend on soup kitchens, shelters and counseling centers. We actually do a lot for our poorer citizens. It is just not enough for each of them to have a 50" LCD HDTV with a PS3 in every room and two new cars in the driveway. It is no coincidence that the US has the fattest poor people in the world. And as for starving people because we are turning our excess corn into fuel, oh well. [/QUOTE]
