Default Am I the only one who sees these as issues?

Okay so I know I will probally be labled as a goody two shoes here for this question but I will ask anyways.


Am I the only one who thinks these are major issues in our country?

1. We always rush to defend others and help starving countries but yet we have thousands right in our own country that are dying from starvation and no shelter?

2. I often read stories about the impact war has on the men and women that are sent over there and of course it impacts their family being with out their loved ones?

It seriously drives me nuts that we are the richest country in the world who always rushes to give to others but what about our own?

I feel as though the money spent on redoing roads 50 times a year, paying millions to casinos, over paying tv stars and anything else thats useless why not help our own?

With the money we have there should be no one hungry or cold.

Ahh okay rant over.

I am with you on this one MightyM7!!! I have always thought the same thing. Why do we always help everyone else when we have alot of our own suffering.

Many Americans assume that just because they vote every few years, they are still living in a free country. They forget, or never knew, that people living behind the Iron Curtain and in Russia during the Cold War.
