Why is it that in all of the deficit reduction schemes, no one has mentioned cutting one dime of the BILLIONS of dollars in aid sent to foreign countries. Washington has spent years giving away these billions ( of our taxpayer dollars ) to our allies and third world countries. Then in the past 2 years spend us ( tax payers ) into an even deeper hole that we almost can't get out of and in their infinite wisdom basically come up with this theme. "The American people are going to have to face some harsh realities and make some more sacrifices". Don't you think if we hadn't given away several hundred BILLION year after year that we might not be in this big of a hole. Most of us have been taught that family comes first. In Washington, their mantra seems to be to help,fix,save and support everyone else in the world and put it on the backs of the American families. I would suggest that for awhile ( since it is our hard earned tax money ) that we stop helping strangers and take care of our American families because we need help, fixes,support and being saved too.
