The Issue: President Biden announcing plans for billions in aid to Israel, Ukraine and Palestinians.
As an American, I am sorry for what is happening in Ukraine and Israel (“Joe begs billions for Israel & Ukr.,” Oct. 20).
However, our divided and struggling nation is $34 trillion in debt, has millions of homeless people, is dealing with extreme inflation and a fentanyl crisis and has an open border.
I am far more worried about our domestic problems, which have been sorely neglected by President Biden. We just can’t afford to “save” the world now.
Instead of continuing to fund deadly wars thousands of miles away, we should be pushing to support peace agreements with the help of other nations.
Americans are too weary of these costly and never-ending wars. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God.

I have a novel idea, since Biden wants to play Santa Claus to the rest of the world — and give us leftovers.
How about each state in the US be given $1 billion that would only be used to build parks, fix sidewalks and pave roads in cities and towns that are in extreme disrepair?
And citizens of those areas would be hired as laborers and for other jobs.

With a $34 trillion and growing national debt, Biden’s proposed $60 billion aid package to Ukraine and $14 billion aid package to Israel should be paid for by reprogramming existing funding within our federal budget.
Every billion sent to both Ukraine and Israel should be matched by providing a billion more to secure our own southern border with Mexico and northern border with Canada. There should be separate votes for each of these three funding initiatives.
The private sector and citizens must make difficult financial decisions on how to use existing resources.
Americans prioritize their own family budgets. They make the difficult choices in how existing household financial resources will be spent. Biden and Congress must also do the same.

A few takeaways from Biden’s Oct. 19 address from the Oval Office: He called giving tens of billions of dollars of US money to Ukraine and Israel “an investment” into a safer future for Americans. How does he say this with a straight face?
How does any American take this seriously from a guy who not only refused to complete the border wall for years, but welded it open?
For pennies on the dollar, there is no greater investment in America’s future than completing the border wall It would easily go down in American history as the greatest investment. Anyone would be crazy to take “investment” advice from Biden.
Speaking of crazy, Biden also stated that he’s giving $100 million to the Palestinians as humanitarian aid.

Biden has pledged to give $100 million in aid to Palestinians (“GOP prez pack bash ‘hater’ aid,” Oct. 20).
This will be nothing more than giving aid and comfort to Hamas and Hamas sympathizers.
In 2006, the citizens of Gaza elected Hamas to govern them and can more correctly be regarded as Islamic terrorist sympathizers than Biden’s “innocent” Palestinians.
Biden offered a mea culpa of “mistakes” made by the United States after 9/11. The most conspicuous must be funding Islamic terrorists and interfering with Israel’s defensive response.

Our president tells Israel the country supports them, yet he warns Israel of wartime decisions.
Then he says Egypt will open its borders to give those in the Gaza Strip limited supplies.
Israel knows what must be done after the massacre of innocent civilians and military personnel a couple of weeks ago.
The president is pledging millions of dollars in aid without truly knowing whether it’s going to citizens of Gaza — not Hamas terrorists.
