$33B in foreign assistance

[TerminatorX5]

In fiscal year 2013 the USG has requested/obligated almost $33 Billion dollars for foreign assistance...

source: ForeignAssistance.gov

the US population is roughly 300 million people... so it is only $110 per person that is being blown on someone else's needs, and not on this country...

and then I hear those commercials on TV - $1 provides a hot meal to an underpriviliged kid in the US... so many kids in the US can't have food on their tables... families in the US struggle... do not distribute wealth, let them people on welfare earn their food... blah-blah-blah...

so, I feel bad for a kid in Africa who is starving - but, should I feel bad for that kid at the expense of the kid in the US?

for some reason, I think $30B can do a lot of good here, in the US...

Opinions?

PS and no, I am not on welfare, but nobody is ensured against a strike of a bad luck or a bad thing happening to them - look at Petraeus and Amstrong, if they could have fallen from the grace, anyone could - you are guilty if you are investigated...
