I'm not American so it's not even my money but it would make sense to me, when your country has so much debt to close on an agency that gives away billions of dollars.<p>If people want their money to be used to help others in need, they can already donate to association like red cross. Everyone is free to do or not, depending on belief and financial situation.<p>But with these agencies the government is taking money from every American, including those the poorest and give it away. This shouldn't be the government authority, there is absolutely no reason why an individual isn't already able to do it by himself.
