Should you take care of your own first or strangers first?

Liberals keep telling us about helping foreigners, which is nice, but we can't even get our vets off the streets. Isn't it wrong to help strangers if you can't even help your own people?

I absolutely agree with helping our own first.

Good?

Now, my question back to you conservatives is how is cutting funding to schools, jobs programs, health care, etc, helping your own? You spend a tremendous amount of energy going out of your way to NOT help your own.

If we are to the point of needing to cut funding to basic programs, that kind of proves my point. Nevertheless, to get more to the point, THIS is why funding has to be cut.

It's called a budget. We know that the left thinks money falls from the sky, but it doesn't. You have to pay your bills to get more loans. You have to balance your budget or watch your economy tank. You have to find the money for these programs without pushing the already unsermountable debt even higher. The Chinese are selling off our debt. That means we are in trouble. It's not free anymore. You have to pay off your loans, or you can't get any more "free money".

And on this we agree. I'm horrified by our national debt and I want ALL of Washington regardless of party to come together to try to address this. I can live with cuts as long as they're really going to fix this deficit problem. I'm NOT going to live with cuts if they're primarily so the Trump types can pocket more private jet money.

Hello bront:

Or, maybe we could re-create the climes of the Eisenhower years, when the country was EXPLODING in prosperity, and the top tax rate was 95%.. It worked for us THEN. It'll work for us NOW..

There is no making life's losers understand the fundamental economic necessity for everyone, including governments to live within their means, or, ''cut your coat according to your cloth''.

On a national level this should mean refusing entry to the spongers from the failed nations of the middle east, mainly Muslims as well as Mexico, and making the unemployed workshy skivers work for their benefits.

It's sickening to listen to the smug, self righteous ''do-gooders'' bellowing about helping refugees or illegal immigrants.

If the bleeding heart brigade wish to support these low lives then let them form an enormous national kitty into which they can pour their hard earned dosh for distribution to the world's failures.

In a free market economy such as the United States everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed in the field of their chosen business.

It is embarrassingly pitiful when a high achiever like President Trump is criticised for his well deserved and hard earned success by the lower orders of the human race.

It's a natural instinct to help one's kin, group and tribe in that order. Strangers obviously come last, and generally they have their own kin, group and tribe that can help them. This is not to say that we shouldn't help strangers (we should). However if one doesn't help ones own group they will have to seek help from other groups, and, as they are outsiders, such requests are likely to be declined.

Where is Mint tea. She was once trying to convince me that there are no beggars in America when i was convincing her my country does not need foreign aid. My country has a population of about 28million and 8million alone are immigrants who have declared themselves citizens through illegally acquiring voters Id and health insurance cards.The rate at which they give birth is absurd and their children become citizens by birth(we need a nationalist coup d'etat). It brings pressure on the economy automatically and people begin to migrate to America(other places aswell). And when there is pressure on America, their citizens can't migrate because per world perception,America is at the acme economically....where could they go, Probably Mars or if planet heaven was close enough.

America 241yrs still according to trump cannot afford immigrant yet stupid leaders who have come to pass never realised my country is only 60yrs(/240 at least) and its economic suicide.

A person sbould take care of him or her self first. Let me put it this way.

A person with two broken legs will not be able to help someone who has two broken legs as well. Even if you have only one leg broken or a sprained ankle, you are still not strong enough to lift another person up who has both legs broken. When both of your legs are healthy and strong, than you help others.
