We can't afford to spend on foreign aid

Editor,

After reading the feeble excuses the Legislature made for voting against the proposal in the House. I have determined more than ever, that they don’t care about how we feel about anything. How they can justify wanting to cut benefits to Social Security that we worked for, yet can send billions of dollars to countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel. Argentina?

The foreign aid we send, which is in the hundreds of billions, would pay off our debt. We should send them letters telling them we are broke and can’t send any aid right now.

What a Joke! We really need a recall law for sure. It’s easier to steal from all of us than to take it away from them. Look at New Jersey’s 67 days with no aid!

Shame on all of the people in the House and Senate! They’re nothing but thieves. We need to put them on notice and maybe restrict them to two terms like the president. Give them the same insurance benefits we have to deal with on Social Security. We are tired of being dazzled with brilliance and baffled with the same old bull.
