Because there is no longer a Republican party. The days of Fiscal Conservatism are dead. Everyone wants social programs, benefits, welfare, etc.... Congressman need money for their districts special projects, yada yada yada. It is not strictly a Republican issue.

Although, our President, is entirely too happy to throw money and any and ll problems that come his way. Ie; Aids in Africa. I don't give a rats ass about Aids in another continent. You want the easy Aids solution, here it is:

Print 2 Billion flyers that say: "KEEP IT IN YOUR FUCKING PANTS! QUIT FUCKING EVERYTHING THAT MOVES!!!"

Yeah they need billions of dollars for what? We can't build a decent levee system in New Orleans, but if someone in a 3rd world nation stubs their toe, we send them tons of cash.

Well, I think that those people are either 1.) trying to get some PR points throughout the world (by helping others), or 2.) the US gov't is too slow to react to their own pain....

You realize we are fighting a WAR right.
Repulicans chose not to ignore the attacks and loss of US lives.
So Even though its costly my attitude is money is easier to replace than lives.

It suprises me how many Americans honestly believe that America gives a lot of aid money to 3rd world countries. While it is a fair amount in absolute numbers, you should also look how many people you have.
What I mean is this. If you look at how much money you give per person, the USA is BY FAR the least generous of all the 'developed western countries' .

Who cares about by person? That would really only matter if the public was involved with where the aid went.

Last time I checked noone was asked if they wanted to help anyone.
