re: USA helping anybody...

Yes if we had the money that places like dubai has and there was no homeless nobody struggling to pay for their medical no hungry people then yes spread the wealth around. But there are countries that have come to rely on what we give them every year. And i fail to see how it is leverage to give them money. Why do we need to leverage a country with money? If they cannot make it on their own and want to join our United States of America, then they will become part of us. And we would put our people their and all their resources would become ours. They sell their resources to us at fair value and we collect taxes, hold elections, put the American constitution in place for every citizen. Then we can give them money
