twitterLetter: Make sure to put America first
Wednesday, March 22, 2000 | 9:48 a.m.
Did we elect them to put internationalism above Americanism? Would they spend their personal fortune to help people overseas while any of their families are in need?
Why do we have budget caps on domestic spending and no budget caps on: World Bank funding, IMF, Export-Import Bank, foreign aid, NATO, United Nations, development banks, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, corporate welfare to benefit multinational corporations, etc.?
We have many social ills in America (poverty, homelessness, crime, mental illness and hunger) that must be addressed first and we should expect our elected officials to put America and Americanism first and internationalism second.
