CUT FOREIGN AID

Our government does not need to increase Medicare premiums to help balance the budget.

Our elderly people are having a hard-enough time making ends meet.

If our government would stop giving the hard-earned dollars of the American people to other countries and also forgiving other countries' debts to us, maybe then we would have enough money to balance our budget.
