Comment on peer 2 (Jonathan Shipe)

I agree with Jonathan Shipe's opinion as it says that we are spending very large amounts of money on countries that do not even need any help. The U.S government needs to cut back on spending on other countries and focus more on our own economical issues.
We spend too much time, money and effort paying attention to foreign problems and forget that we have 300 million people to take care of in our own country.
Arguably someone might say that we need to keep good relations with other countries as they might come to our help in the future if needed but spending billions of our own dollars "investing" in other countries is far too risky as we might not have enough money left to spend on important domestic issues like education, poverty and much more.
We need to pay more attention on domestic affairs rather than spending loads of money on foreign countries.
