Is there anything in the Constitution that says that American taxpayer money can be sent to foreign countries?  I don't understand why we do it.  We have our own people to take care of, our own needs.  We should spend the money here at home first.  Then, maybe if there's money left over, give foreign aid, but it should be much smaller than what we're giving.

Also: President Obama is spending $100 million on his trip to Africa, where he is receiving a cool reception (in some places its actually a hostile reception).  What was the point of this trip and was it worth $100 million of our money?

There's so much money being wasted.  Balance the budget, close the deficit?  Spend wiser.

Why should I have to give money to help other people?! They don't even have the same skin color or religion as me! Besides, they'll probably just have it wasted, lol.

Ok well time to hop in my mom's minivan to go down to the mall and buy an iPad mini. Later,  guys.
