In response to "The United States Government"

I agree to disagree with "The Liberty Eagle" in their argument in "The United States Government." I'm proud to be an American, but I don't have to agree with everything that they tell me. When you actually put it into perspective the government gives us rights and freedoms that they want to enjoy themselves. Government policy has to be tempting in order to win over the masses. It's great that the United States is a generous country and that they are doing alot to help other countries, but what about their own people. Approximately 1% of the United States population experience homelessness each year. The devastation left by Hurricane Katrina showed perpetual ill judgement in the United States government. The government's disaster relief efforts were ridiculous. Several of the people affected by this tragedy are still suffering today. I believe that the govermnet's generosity should start at home first. The United States needs to tend to domestic matters before they take on the obligations of foreign ones(i.e the "so-called" War on Terrorism).
