I think we should stop all aid with or without a war.

Wartime aside, I do not see how we (the United States) *realistically* can, nor do I believe we should be providing aid to anyone, anywhere in the world when we ourselves are currently borrowing money from China and other countries at an unprecedented rate, our National Debt continues to climb at an average rate of $1.43 billion per day since September 29, 2006, and our dollar has less and less purchasing power in the international markets each day (our dollar is at a record low!).
That is like a Food Stamp recipient giving away all their food and then begging for more from others, to in turn give away yet again, while continuing to go hungry themselves.
This is not a sane strategy. You can only truly give when you are in a position of solvency and abundance yourself. That means a POSITIVE bank balance NOT a deficit.
We must run our households this way or face foreclosure. ...Why not our country?
The bottom line?
We now find ourselves to be a nation of beggars!
....And the world is rejoicing.

Definitely. Let's start with the $3 Billion we waste on Israel each year.

Not sure 'bout all that, but I think we should be a little more picky with who we deliver aid to.
