Obama Official: GOP Budget Would Kill 70,000 Kids - FoxNews.com

Please note, the above link is to the story, where USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah tells the House appropriations committee that 70,000 children will die without the money to his organization.

While I am all about the children and family, we are talking about OTHER countries here. Not AMERICANS!!!

The translation to this is, that all Americans must pay taxes to support this organization and people overseas.

We cannot continue to support the world and go broke at the same time, something has to give. It may sound cruel, but we need to cut out ALL money going to any other country other than our own, until the budget is reigned in, the deficit zeroed out, and we have a SURPLUS of funds available.

Once that takes place, then if there is a realistic surplus, then we can look to providing aid to other countries.

BTW, this doesn't prevent charitable organizations from collecting donations to help people overseas.......
