What About The U.S.?
posted May 8, 2008

Every time a third world country has a problem the government jumps on the band wagon and spends millions if not billions of tax dollars on support. What about the starving and sick here at home?

Our country is too busy with everyone else around the world that they have forgotten us. We are allowing them to spend money that should be used here at home to help Americans. Yet that would cause all these tree hugging want to be hippies to scream because they don’t get to go help and be seen on television.

The Burmese government does not want us, then why keep trying? I will tell you, it looks good on television and makes them look like they actually care. Well then try that same act here at home, spend a few million and actually do some good in the United States of America for a change. Try that just once and you will see more support for the government.

We as Americans have gotten to the point we don’t speak our minds. These are bad times and we need to fix America for a change and let the other countries take care of their own problems. We are not fighting against Russia as we were during the cold war. Yet we are fighting to keep America financially strong and not in danger of becoming a third world country and broke.
