Why are we pouring so much money into other countries without consideration for our own citizens?

I think the first thing to do is to put the government of our great country on a budget and make them live within that budget. No business just pours money into any endeavor without a game plan and a bottom line. The majority of homeowners live on a budget because we do not have an bottomless pit of money and a big debt is only going to put us into dire circumstances..

For some reason our government - not to mention names - think that there is a bottomless pit of money. Money trees in some secret grove. Spend - spend - spend!

We need to find a way to force those that we entrusted with running our government to start acting like rational people and understand that we do not have bottomless pockets.

Vacations during important sessions, in-fighting for the party's sake, pork projects. This needs to stop.

How to do it? Short of everyone voting the long term senators and reps out of office and making sure that the new inductees know that we will not take anymore of the :edit: - I have no idea.
