Americans will be first at the scene to help victims of natural disaster from Kurdistan to Honduras. But the steady siphoning of $30 million a day and $17 billion a year in foreign aid from a depleted U.S. Treasury must come to an end.
Today, one-fourth of America's national debt is traceable to foreign aid, yet we continue to dig deeper into debt to fund "friends" -- three-quarters of whom more often than not vote against the U.S. in the UN. The looting of America for the construction of the New World Order must end.
America needs a policy that phases out foreign aid and focuses instead on forgotten Americans here at home. The time has come for dependent nations to quit presuming upon American benevolence and begin paying the full cost of their own development and defense.
