Foreign aid cuts needed

Politicians have bigger fish to fry as election year is coming up. The Republican Party wants to do everything in its power to make sure Obama fails. He will do that himself.

It is too bad politicians don’t know how to work for the good of the country; they just work for the party. The last two years have been nothing but a political campaign for the Republicans and Democrats. Bush/Cheney blew it for the party, as did Michael Steele. If Republicans want to cut spending without raising taxes, they should start with cutting foreign aid.

Cut foreign aid to the countries who hate us (including Venezuela). Countries with oil can take care of their own people with their own money, and the countries that don’t have oil can obtain their financial aid from the ones that do.

The American taxpayer is highly irritated that help to U.S. education programs, police departments, fire departments, etc., are cut, but we will still pump billions and billions of dollars into 152 countries that hate us.

Cut off the money train and maybe their own people will revolt, or, better yet, the Taliban and al-Qaida can take care of them.
