If we had invested in South and Central America (instead of all these other far away countries), by helping South and Central America beat their drug cartels and corrupt governments, we wouldn't have the problems we're facing today.

Please explain to me (an American citizen) why my hard earned tax money should go to invest in central and south america. I prefer my tax money go to protecting and helping fellow Americans. If you are so worried about those folks and their countries, why don’t you open your wallet and donate YOUR money?
