I realize $1.5 billion is only a drop in the bucket, but why are we supporting nations around the world when we're not even supporting our own? Detroit's impending bankruptcy is a case in point, as are: falling apart infrastructure, Superfund and other environmentally contaminated sites that aren't cleaned up, 7.5% unemployment, high truancy rates in inner city public schools, lack of care for the mentally ill (some of whom have access to guns and engage in mass killings), rising prison populations, nuclear energy sites that need to be decontaminated...We've got plenty of problems of our own that $1.5 billion would help cure.
