Why does America think it has to "save the world" when it can't help itself anymore?

Question

Did you know there are still areas in America were there is little health care if any, and people with little or no education. We have started to rely on imports and and have little exports. What will happen if you have to take care of yourself? Our country can't even support itself let alone its people. We can't save the world if we can't even feed ourselves? Can anyone help answer WHY America has turned away from its own citizens?

We need to start at home and save our country! What are your thoughts?

May you all be blessed! God bless the USA!

Answer 2

America is not turning away from its own citizens to "save the world", America, meaning the rich and powerful running the country, is making business with war and what not. Using the resources of the people, our tax money and applying it to war expenses in the billions. All at the same time, as you put it, health care and education lacks more and more. Nowadays even in the bigger cities where you would think more money is generated, social programs are being vanished.

When I was in middle school, the public school system (in Miami-Dade, one of the biggest in the country), offered computer programming, drafting and all kinds of languages for electives. Now they hardly offer music. All this because there are not enough funds.

The government keeps shifting funds budgeted to social programs, like veterans' benefits, education, healthcare and so forth to fund the war in Irak, which has nothing to do with 9/11 or "weapons of mass destruction". War makes the wealthy wealthier, and that is what America is looking for. Hopefully with the Republicans out the door, things will start to change for the better.

Answer 3

We, the People must get more involved, and tell those crazies in Washington, that we want our country to quit sending our tax dollars overseas, sending our jobs overseas, and take care of our own people. I remember asking my Mother this, when I was a small child. Every time some 3rd world country needs something, they expect us to help them. Start emailing your congressmen and women.  Don't sign petitions, it is a waste of time.

Answer 4

A lot of people I know, including me, feel the way you do.  It's not us, it's the government.  I'm sick of looking bad to people in other countries just because the government is stupid.  I'm not sure what we can really do at this point...maybe getting a new president will help.  Probably not, but I hope.

Answer 5

It took me a while to figure this out, but helping people around the world is just a scam and something the U.S.A. government wants people to believe.

Cluster bombs, etc and other arrogance keep the rest of the world at bay, so arrogant Americans can keep their grotesquely, over materialistic and generally over indulgent lifestyle intact.

AND NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER:

AMERICANS IN SPACE!

That's right, we're going to Mars! Can't take care of Africa, the national budget or "terrorism", but we can spend billions of dollars shooting metal and feul, and sometimes even little animals - into the atmosphere!

Good job America!
