In an increasingly intertwined world, domestic policies in one country (usually wealthy ones) often increase poverty in other nations (usually poor ones). By all accounts the U.S. could do more good for developing nations by changing domestic policies than it does with the amount going to international aid. When developing countries export to ...

NONE, for $1000.00 Chris..
Because this isn't ''Obama's'' White House any more than Congress is ''the people's house''. It's owned by Israel and China and Saudi Arabia.
