Cut Foreign Aid

I say cut Foreign Aid and give us all a tax break. Why??????? We all have spent Billions of dollars, Euros, etc. and Millions of manhours trying to improve third world countries. Of the Billions spent, very little money actually reaches the people at the bottom, why?????????........and the return on the investment is Zero for us. Is this an ENDLESS MONEY PIT???????

Think about it, there isn't a business out there in the world that would spend Billions for a Zero return on the investment. Are the charity organizations a business??????? Does only a portion of what the charities take in actually get to the people??????

I still don't see Billions apon Billions apon Billions of improvement in these third world countries. That only can mean one thing. Sending all this money over there is NOT an effective way to stop poverty or crime. Someone has to come up with a better solution for these countries........money just isn't doing the job.

As the saying goes "Charity starts at home" and that's the way it should be. We need to educate, train, motivate and equip the young people right here at home to meet the upcoming challenges of the world.

I can't believe these minority groups here in Canada want the government to increase foreign aid.....and if they don't send money the groups won't help vote in the next government (talk about threatening)........, better yet, why not send them ALL OUR JOBS while they're at it............Oh, and listen to the whinning that the minority groups made over here when Pakistan had a disaster recently. I'll give you a hint what people think about that one. They heard nothing but whinning and they generally ignored it. Why?????? Because people don't like to be whinned at. (So ofcourse they don't give as much money then).

I sure didn't see ALL these third world countries coming to the aid of the United States when the hurricanes ripped through this year..........but boy do they ever whinne when something happens over in their country.

Maybe the third world countries would be better off fixing their own problems without all our help??????????
