Let's stop wasting billions on other nations

Editor,

I read in the Standard everyday, something that stirs my wellbeing. Are we as Americans becoming so complacent that we allow our elected officials dupe us into believing they are doing a good job? I pick up the newspaper and read how we have wasted $51 billion in Iraq.

I don’t care if someone is Republican or Democrat, we need to vote all those senators and congressmen out, period. They are stealing from the American people to give it away to other countries when we need to pay our national debt.

I’m tired of hearing that entitlements are the big problem when we give all the money to other countries that can’t get anything done anyway. I’m tired of being dazzled with brilliance and baffled with bull!
