I am sitting here watching the news its a story about families being evicted in Las Vegas. Police going door to door putting families on the street because they havent been able to make their rent or morgage payment...its hearbreaking... then the next story is America sending money to Africa and how on earth can we afford it?....Bloody hell we cant!!!!!!!!!! 550 million dollars, Mrs Clinton said we sent to them...do you know how many Americans we could have put back into their homes? How many Americans we could have fed....somebody has to shake some sense into these people...

What's heartbreaking is what's going on in Africa. There is no comparison.

What about all the Church's and mega Church's that send money overseas when we have families starving in the USA?

It is all backwards in many arena's.

Our government needs to start takeing care of our own people in the good old USA....before it sends out tax dollars out of the country to help others,..........When will our governemnt learn we have needy people and hungry homeless people here in the states. Take that money they send out of the country each year and create jobs here at home and help the AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST...WAKE UP AMERICA

Africa is a huge country Chris....they have some beautiful areas that have stunning tourist meccas and areas that starving people by the thousands.....but the fact is we cant stop it we may put a drop in the bucket but it has to many holes in it .....they show us heartbreaking pictures but what they dont show you is all the money we and other countrys send is ate up in overhead......we have children going to bed hungry here we need to take care of our children first we need to clothe and house our children first...find jobs for our people first once we are fixed then we can help others.....you dont go to the bank and borrow money to give to your neighbor.....if we have extra then so be it...but to borrow money from another country to give to another country is just plain silly
