I like the point Paul made... The problem is with every law and act that was made will get abused when people have nothing else to use, specifically law enforcement. I personally live in a state that does such a thing. Which is not enforcing laws that are created but only using them when another law is broken or there is nothing else to use. People only use these laws on a one way street and not fulfilling the original purpose.

To let everyone know a little preview of some information I recovered from some intelligence buddies of mine (videos, photos and such), I will give you all a little preview of what I know and will be posting later on this forum. Basically, from general UN videos (and private ones) that I have seen of the weapons inspectors going into Iraq during the mid and late 90's to see what they were doing, I stumbled over something that was quite interes

Solitair is correct, it won't matter until the Federal Supreme Court rules on this issue. It is somewhat similar to homosexual marriage, just because one judge says it, it doesn't make it law. It is the fault of the politicians for not reading and then criticizing, rather than criticizing it as though they were tricked into something. If they opposed it, they should of stood up and say so as it is there obligation and duty, especia

Citizen sandy2 No offence but you are way off, you are talking about a deficit and not actual debt. President Clinton only stop the rising of the national debt, there was no surplus of debt but only with trade. The The United States of America has been in debt for a long time and will probably be in debt for a long time, if not forever. Debt is not a bad thing, it just depends on the debt. For instance, for everyone who

Okay, I don't know if anyone read the title but it says "The Libertarian Party: Foreign Policy" and it sounds more like domestic issues to me. So lets stay on topic here or post a seperate issue somewhere else. Pertaining to paying off other countries debts as the best way to spend on foriegn aid, all while The United States of America has so much debt is a bad thing. The only reason why I supported President Clinton's econom

Actually I don't think thats necessarily a good idea to pay off the loans of a third world government, debt is a good thing for a country, but with every rule there is an exception. The exception here is if the value of the currency will be worth nothing and the fear of immigration to stabalized highly economically developed countries occurs. The exception example would be Mexico, as you stated, during the 1990's when President Clinto

The United States of America use to only tax businesses and certain products and that is where the problem is. One of the reasons why The United States of America has an income tax is simply because businesses owners claim themselves as employees and paid themselves all of the remaining amount of which they made (businesses profit). Thus they did not have to pay any taxes or very little for their business. Clever huh?... Also, incom

There could be a lot of negative feedback because The United States America gives the most in foreign aid. Especially from the United Nations and not from countries that are make up The United Nations, those are two different things. If The United States of America were to pull all foriegn aid, it's not like The United Nations could do anything. What are they going to do, sancation The United States with their Army? "Uh oh,

True, that forced compassion is not really compassion at all. But I don't see what that has to do with anything pertaining to this topic or how you can force compassion on someone, compassion is a mutual feeling in this instance. If The United States of America or any country sends aid, how can the be forced compassion? It may always be turned down by the recipient and its not like you must accept it. I do believe that we are movi

I should correct myself, Wwen I posted about Keynes theory about Germany. It was not after WWII it was rather WWI. It was WWII that he prodicted would happend after after WWI do to the high economical stress put on by The United States of America and its allies.

It's true that majority of foreign aid does not actually get to the people who need it, and it is also true that a large portion of it is misused or used for personal use of government officials. It is also true that foreign aid is misspent in areas that are not ready for development, a perfect example, is your example sewing machines being sent to places without electricity. Since this is widely known that very few countries actually become
