I am going to have to say NO

But, we can't use this foreign aid for political reason.

I am for foreign aid, when our own country is healthy enough.

I am for helping others grow, but we need to put ourselves first.

I love how all the "liberals" oppose foreign aid, saying we can't afford it.  We spend only $15 billion in aid a year.  We spend $450 billion on Social Security and if anyone proposed cutting that, you would all scream like banshees.

Come on. What does defense cost? Etc. Maybe they WANT social security?

So liberals don't want foreign aid then?  Why don't they just say that?  Why the facade of practicality?  I laways thought liberals were into foreign aid/peace corps, type stuff.

what liberals are you talking about? Those on this Forum? Because actually a lot people here from all sides are FOR foreign aid.
