Why do you think that all these other countries can give free health care and higher education? I can tell you why.....they keep their money to themselves and serve the interests of their citizens. They don't give it away in billions of foreign aid. They rely on the US to protect them and by doing so they don't have to build huge armies etc. Big savings there! Its time that we stopped policing the world and paying out our tax dollars to corrupt countries. We should be making sure that every citizen in this country is healthy, educated, fed and housed.
