Wise Advice from a Great Man

One thing that has always frustrated me is that the United States as a country and its citizens are always concerned about the affairs of other countries and never our own. Our country spends all of its time, money, treasure and blood involved in the problems of the rest of the World and never on our own issues. Our infrastructure is crumbling, our schools are failing, millions of Americans are out of work yet our leaders and many of our citizens are worried about the Middle East ?? We can't bail out Detroit but can send BILLIONS to the Ukraine ??

I know all about the petro dollar and that's the main reason since WW2 that we've been the "cop of the World". However, Britain did this before us and bankrupted themselves in the process and The British Empire is in the dustbin of history just like the American Empire will be as well. I believe as President George Washington said in his farewell address: "Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, (I conjure you to believe me fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government. " (George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796)
