My feelings exactly. But unfortunately there will always be a need here so you will never have money to send in foreign aid.

The problem with assistance programs in the US is it seems like when you throw more funds at them they grow and are in need of more. You throw more, they grow more. Granted there is a ton of bureaucratic BS that eats up funds as well but why does that happen? Do folks on assistance just get comfy and don't change their lifestyle to get off it? Or maybe can't change their lifestyle to get off it?
