We are the biggest suckers on the face of the planet. We double dip!

Our citizens give massive amounts of money to the third world. They choose to. Good for them.

Our government should not be confiscating any money to donate on our behalf. NOTHING!

I would also add, donate here at home first. Donate in your local community. Give the bulk here. If you wish to donate overseas too, good for you.

Efforts to fight malaria would be chopped by 11 percent.

Appropriate, as long as we are not inclined to be building facilities to produce DDT.

If the money goes to an organization like the UN, it is probably likely that 50% goes to the cause and 50% to “administer” the program, ie making a lot of bureaucrats rich.

I’m sure NPR will never report on the trillions of dollars of unfunded future liabilities. The US is looking at a massive debt problem and it won’t be pretty if nothing is done to curtail government spending.

Good - make those other countries do what it takes to tend to their own people - if they won’t, their people should overthrow them....worked for us.

"global health spending"

Trump is president of the United States, not of the world.

Our tax money should NOT be sent overseas except during a war.

Tell the rest of the globe that the money’s got to come from them. We’ll share expertise where needed, but the cash stops NOW!
