Oh I understand that, but I do despise the hypocrisy that America Rejects single-payer healthcare claiming that they can't afford it, but they are willing to fund it for people who are not our people. Charity is one thing, but foreign aid should never come at the expense of One's Own people. While I understand the situation is bigger and more complicated than that, and that most foreign aid is just code for funding military operations and bases, it's still irks me that a single Cent is being given out in foreign aid when we have people who are starving and dying on the streets.

I would be all for America first if it actually meant anything outside of a racist dog whistle.
