I have always said take care of our own first, not last.
We are the first to offer help to any country for any reason, food, fires, clothes, earthquakes but when it comes to making sure our own people are feed, clothed and bathed FORGET it.
Show me one other country that has ever offered us help when we have had national disasters, just one country?
I could say Canada when all those forrest fires where burning a couple years ago if only they did NOT ASK for RENTAL MONEY to use their supper scopper fire fighting planes.
So name one that has offered to feed our hungry, our truly homeless, our uneducated, our unemployed?
Can't do it can you?
Because there is none offering, only asking us for help. Such a shame.
I would tell them sure you want food, show me the money first and take it.
