We are (congress is) sending billions of dollars overseas in aid to all the problem countries with little or no strings attached. I say we cut all that out and pay off our debt first, and if there is anything left, help the poor in our own country. We have done too much for all the ungrateful SOBs out there and did we hear of them sending aid to us during our hurricanes, tornadoes and floods? If they want aid, they have got to straighten out/up.
