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.
