Theresa, you’re right. Poverty is a big problem here in the US. As a nation, we should focus on it more. However, the breadth & scale of poverty in places like Africa is unlike anything we see here at home. It’s in our nation’s strategic interest to care about both problems.

We basically support the globe, but help we give monetary or otherwise is misused by dictators & crooked officials, which they withhold from their people; that will never change!!

You’re not alone in making that argument, but I don’t think it rings true today. I’d encourage you to learn more about US aid programs, which account for less than 1% of the fed. budget & are considered among the most transparent & effective in the world.http://www.publishwhatyoufund.org/the-index/2018/

I think it rings very true. We do more then any other country in sustaining global needs! As in the southern Americas, the fat cats pocket all of it, and send their population north for more support! We are draining our resources, enough!!
