For example:
The U.S. will feed millions, in other countries, give other countries FREE health care, but not here in the States.

its wrong for certain, I have said for the longest time that once we feed house and cloth every American then and only then can we assist other countries.

Because we are morons in that respect. I cant understand how we let this go on in our own country, and then in the same breath, go do it for someone one else. In another respect, there are countries that really need certain things just to stay alive, and have no way to get it, like food and medicine. This is a good thing, its humane and America is one of the few countries who have the ability and the caring attitude to help with certain things. We do provide these things here for the unfortunate, but you have to go fill out the forms and do some leg work and alot of people are lazy and dont do it. So its not that we dont do ANYTHING for our citizens, I just feel we can do more for our people here.

Ask an economist. If you give money to other countries they like us and live longer then buy more of our stuff. Money. Thats it.
Also, the FREE health care that is given is mostly drugs that are bought from American companies. hmmm.

The human advocates association and the human rights association is where you need to start to understand this. They are more concerned with others than those that live in the USA. They are misguided and live under the misconception that all Americans are rich. Sad isn't it.

Personally i think Bush likes to be seen as a hero and finds if he gives money to other countries he can have more power and Allies!

Well, the US helps countries in key locations of the continent ;) Perhaps, get a mutual defense treaty signed? possibly an alliance?

It's all for the future. What can we do today that will help us out in the future when we need it to? Remember we did this and that and gave you this much money? You owe us one.

So they can get the support from them, get them on your side, and then they are in the palm of your hand.
