But seriously, I understand the left and right do it.

My point is that as a country you do spend more than you earn.
Do you not think that has to be paid for, and that money must come from its (Americas) people?

That would be the responsible thing to do.
And my view is that it means everyone should contribute.

Well, then, if all Americans are contributing and we’re spending more than we give to the government, the first thing to go should be foreign aid. Let’s get our own domestic house in order; then decide who gets how much of our money.
