U.S. to give $900 million in Aid to Gaza

The Obama Administration  stated today that they intend to provide $900 million in aid to help rebuild Gaza after the Israeli incursion. This is great to help with foreign relations but the question I have to ask is do we have the money? With companies going Bankrupt daily and the Government's debt rising up can we afford to be handing out cash to foreign nations.  In the past, America has been very generous to foreign nations giving spreading billions of dollars across the third world nations.  However never in a time of crisis has America seen any help back. When we were hit by Hurricane Katrina no one donated money.  It seems as if our help is not appreciated just expected and now we need to start looking out for ourselves.  Plus we are now causing a controversy as we are supposed to be backing up Israel in their fight to stay in the middle east yet now we have made it a bigger problem.  I like Obama's idea of improving foreign relations but in current economic times we cannot justify the means.
