    We are so far in the whole now that I can not see how there is a way to loan money to others. If it is an attempt to make our country look better, well forget it, we look bad and no assistance is gonna help.

    don't sweat the small stuff. we're already lending a smaller percentage of our gnp then most other nations. just because were so big that looks like a large amount ...,

    also you seem to be forgetting, those loans have never been honest generosity, but a trojan horse to keep resource nations in dependent poverty.

    I completely agree with you Yank. We need to help the citizens of OUR country first and foremost.

    yeah, please. Like imagine if all the money being spent on the Iraq war was actually spent on Americans! They could end homelessness, they could implement a national health care system. They could rebuild our eroding infrastructure!

    I have no problem paying taxes, it's just where the money's being spent that I have a problem with!
