<human>: Title says all.

If you look at America's past, it's clear that we have had good intentions from the start but with a catch. We help out a nation in need to hopefully bend their trust in our direction to hopefully gain an ally. This was back when Russia was beginning to become a large threat and a race to largest world power was under way.

What American leaders did not expect, though, was the massive debt this has caused us. If I am not mistaken, we are almost $20 trillion in debt now because we are still trying to 'aid' other countries. 

While it is morally right to help those in need America needs to realize that it can't support its foreign affairs like it could back at the start of all of this righteousness. As unfortunate as it may seem, we, America, need to stop sending aid to other countries until we resolve our economical problems.

Some of you may find it cruel to cut off countries in need but if we do not salvage ourselves then we will soon be among the countries in need. No longer a world power but a dying nation based on false foundations and financial incompetency. 

I know this was a rather long post but the girth of this was only my opinion.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Should America stop lending aid to countries in need in order to salvage our own nation, or should we keep digging ourselves deeper into a financial grave?
