    I'm sick of hearing that we NEED to help other countries or that other countries DEPEND on us.
    What about our own starving children, homeless families, uneducated people? We have problems here that people could help fix instead of sending millions and billions to other countries. Maybe if "rich America" would stop sending factories, jobs, food, clothing ,etc to others they would *GASP* help themselves...be so fed up with it that they make a difference in their own country , then the world would be at peace because other countries don't "owe" others anything or have their money in others pockets!

    I am all for helping a country/people by showing them how to self sustain ( by getting well water/piped in water, farming, selling crafts) not just giving them things, throwing money at them or keeping factories there when we can keep them here instead ( I will gladly pay higher prices for a product that says Made in The USA and I have).
    If you think having the factories in other countries is helping them then watch Planet Green's series of Blood, Sweat and Takeaway ( they have one on clothing as well). Having factories there only helps a few and they rarely are good for the workers.


    We will never be out of debt to other countries and we will still fall short of helping our own people but by golly we helped other countries more then our own, thats great! (sarcasm)
