HOW TRUE IS THIS!
We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Homeless, Veterans, Orphans, etc. ?????
This is so pathetically true...in the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey .
Our retired seniors living on a fixed income receive no aid while our government and religious organizations pour hundreds of millions of dollars and tons of food to foreign countries.
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
Why are so many American citizens, and the American government, so star struck they won't provide for our own?
America: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed without eating,
elderly going without needed meds, and mentally ill without treatment yet we have a benefit for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Imagine if we gave ourselves the same support that we gave all other countries.
I feel bad for them but I also care about America and our Seniors who developed this great country only to be forgotten.
Sad isn't it? 99% of people won't have the guts to forward this. I'm not one of them.....
How about you??
