Where do they get all of this money to send to other countries?? We can't afford to take care of America's problems, yet we can ship millions of dollars to a country that "loses" money we gave them before? This is ridiculous. Noted. Thanks, Mark

Helping others is a wonderful way to show compassion but if the US took care of things here at home first, we would be in a much better position to help others. There is so much work to do for people, animals (wild & domestic) and the environment here in the US which is being sadly neglected and the money paid in by the citizens deserve to go to helping them in their own county first.
Noted with thanks, Mark.

"Charity begins at home." UNKNOWN
Are there 785 million Americans? How many are out of work, homeless, starving and cold?
How about ill, with no Health care?
