Let's Take Care of Home

Please excuse my mini mid-day rant. I just had some stuff on my mind that I wanted to share. I am an advocate for charity and volunteer work; so please don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way.

In the United States of America; we are so quick to start a relief project or send money and food to other countries. I understand that these places need help and assistance.

BUT WHAT ABOUT HOME?!?

We have millions of people here dying of HIV/AIDS, we have an enormous amount of homless and hungry people, places stuck by natural diasters that still haven't been rebuilt, and don't get me started on our national debt.

Why do we always send our money and resources elsewhere when it can do just as much good here at home?

I agree completely! I am all for helping people out, but what about our own people! Coming from a state that is 49th for education I am appalled that we jump to the call of duty for anyone, but what about home?

Because normally as bad as it is here it isn't even a fraction of how bad it is there.

To a certain extent I have to agree. When I think about the issue of childhood hunger in this country it just seems like we should be doing more here at home.
