Let us say two years.
No Food sent to places in famine
No money to countries for medicine,food,infrastructure nothing
No soldiers sent across the world in time of Natural Disasters, Tsunami hits you killing hundreds of thousands,sucks to be you clean it up yourself!
Another war starts in Europe,clean it up yourself,sucks to be you!
No UN dues,Un goes broke,sorry sucks to be you!
Not one thing to anyone unless we profit from it for two years,at the end of which we can negotiate as to whether we will offer any aid to anyone,and under what conditions.
Would you support that,I think it's a fine idea,really tired of a planet full of ungrateful leeches telling the US we don't do enough,when we give more than the rest of them combined.

Glad you like helping people who spit in your face for helping,that kind of attitude would make Gandhi proud. Thankfully I'm not Gandhi so I have the freedom to hate my enemies.

Stopping all foreign aid would be great for us taxpayers.

We are always told how much we are hated. So if that is the case we should not send money medical supplies and aid in any shape or form.
I agree with this totally. The world hates us until they need us.
The hell with them. For once it should be take care of us first then IF there is any left over you maybe able to have some.

Foreighn aid is one thing.. Foreighn destruction is another.
Please read this from John Perkins Author of Confessions of an economic hitman
JOHN PERKINS: Well, the company I worked for was a company named Chas. T. Main in Boston, Massachusetts. We were about 2,000 employees, and I became its chief economist. I ended up having fifty people working for me. But my real job was deal-making. It was giving loans to other countries, huge loans, much bigger than they could possibly repay. One of the conditions of the loan–let's say a $1 billion to a country like Indonesia or Ecuador–and this country would then have to give ninety percent of that loan back to a U.S. company, or U.S. companies, to build the infrastructure–a Halliburton or a Bechtel. These were big ones. Those companies would then go in and build an electrical system or ports or highways, and these would basically serve just a few of the very wealthiest families in those countries. The poor people in those countries would be stuck ultimately with this amazing debt that they couldn’t possibly repay. A country today like Ecuador owes over fifty percent of its national budget just to pay down its debt. And it really can’t do it. So, we literally have them over a barrel. So, when we want more oil, we go to Ecuador and say, “Look, you're not able to repay your debts, therefore give our oil companies your Amazon rain forest, which are filled with oil.” And today we're going in and destroying Amazonian rain forests, forcing Ecuador to give them to us because they’ve accumulated all this debt. So we make this big loan, most of it comes back to the United States, the country is left with the debt plus lots of interest, and they basically become our servants, our slaves. It's an empire. There's no two ways about it. It’s a huge empire. It's been extremely successful.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I would support it all the way. The rest of the world does not seem to realize just how much money and man power we put forth to 'rescue' others from themselves.

Brilliant! and may this post go out to every politician in America.....it is probably the smartest, most self-protective action this country could take. Excuse me while I write my senators and congressmen right now!

Cease all payments.....Call in all debts......If the countries can't pay, we take over all natural resources with American companies. Then the Greens couldn't scream about "offshore" drilling....

Ugh--what a terrible point of view! "I'm not going to do anything for anybody if it isn't purely in my own best interests!" I think we've got an obligation to help others, whether it's us as a nation or us as individuals. If I had a multi-trillion dollar annual budget, and I could use a tiny part of it to keep a child healthy that would die without that help, I think I'd give up the cost of a toilet seat or two for that.

It's probably not a bad idea but if you think people hate us now, how much do you think they would hate us if we stopped international aid?
