How much money does it take to resolve problems of other countries? Where is the financial responsibility of this administration? Are we just going to keep driving the debt higher? At times, it is wise to give money to other countries, when it may benefit the United States, but we have to be realistic to not forget about our own country’s problems. The U.S. seems like it has no money to fix problems here such as with veterans, the homeless, Social Security, highways, bridges and the border.

It is ridiculous that President Biden can fly all the way to some of these other countries but can’t find time to visit the border here. That is shameful. The citizens here need to put pressure on the president for him to see firsthand the border problems. We must demand that he respect us and acknowledge that he needs to visit and fix the border problems. It is time to quit listening to statements that the border is closed, but yet people continue to flock in the country illegally.

Biden wants $105 billion in his national security package, most of it to be given away for aid outside our country. That money used to fix problems here could go a long way.

We need to demand the president acknowledge our problems. If we keep doing less and less, it will only make it worse here in the United States. It seems like the USA is not a priority here.
