How do americans feel about the US helping almost every country in need?

Question

when currently your economy itself is failing? how do you feel about this?

Answer 1

our ecomony is failing because our money goes too much to welfare which alot of people dont wont to work and to these people in prisons that have it made in prison and we pay for that the working people thats why we have so many repeat offenders

Answer 2

I think we need to help ourselves before we help others. Americans complain that Darfur isn't getting our help, what about us?

Answer 3

Our government isn't helping countries, it's policing them.  Our government isn't a super power, it's super nosy....

Answer 4

to an extent I think we need to help ourselves before we help those in need but we also should help countries that are in absloute dire need.

Answer 5

Since when is the US helping "almost" every other country in need?

Answer 6

I dont like it...i think we need to start taking care of our own. I feel bad for some of those people and I dont have a problem with SOME help but dangit if we have to be in the UN then they should spend the money we already give em.

Answer 7

I wouldnt mind it nearly as much if we didnt have a war going on. Several wars acctually. In times of peace the dominant countries (not just us) that spout messages of freedom and hope (all that positive inspirational kind-of B.S.) should back up their words with actions or atleast advice and the option for action. However at the moment our economy is falling apart, our leader might as well be named Mugabe for all the differances in his leadership style, and we are recovering from several differant MAJOR natural disasters. Now is the time to take care of our own. Let the world fall apart, if we can scratch our way back to the top then the "Decider" can send our money and troops to rebuild it again.
