[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5345697, member: 24302"] Do you truly believe that? We've poured mega billions into foreign aid for decades. A lot of countries are controlled by relatively small groups who hog their country's wealth for themselves. And often skim off our aid for themselves. Back before we started demanding accountability there were jet setting Africans living extravagantly on our foreign aid while most of their citizens lived impoverished lives. At the same time we're giving all of this aid we have huge problems with poverty and homelessness in the U.S. that no one seems willing or able to solve. Which is why "America First" resonates with so many here. Let's solve our opioid crisis. Let's make sure everyone who wants a job gets one. Let's make our transportation costs affordable so people can afford a car. Let's make our streets safe so people can come and go without fear. We shouldn't be squandering money on countries that have seen little change until we fix our problems at home. [/QUOTE]
