10 Things I would do if I were president: #7 Isolationist foreign policies for 25 years

Who are we, as a nation, to think that we have any business in helping other countries to fix their problems when we can't even fix our own? Every year we, through our Federal Government, send Billions of Dollars to "3rd" world countries in an effort to educate, feed and provide basic necessities to these countries peoples, when, every day, in our own country, millions of children go hungry, live on the streets and drop out of school before finishing their primary education. This irony isn't lost on the rest of the planet and based on my own conversation's with people from other countries who visit America, they find it humorous-to be kind about it. We, through our Federal Government, have no business attempting to show other countries "how it's done" in terms of educating and feeding people, when we, ourselves, aren't even doing so to 100% of American's right now. To me, this is akin to the Blind leading the Blind, or a career bogey golfer trying to help a scratch golfer qualify for the PGA tour. True, we don't have widespread hunger in our nation (just look around you and I'm sure it's pretty obvious by the median weight of the people nearest you), but we still have millions of people, and especially children, who go hungry every day in our country and millions more who never finish high school, and yet, we send Billions to 3rd world nations with terms that dictate how this money is to be used to feed and educate their populace, when we ourselves aren't that successful at it. Personally, I find this to be very arrogant of us...So why Isolationist foreign policy? If the world expects us or wants us to help out those countries who need it, we need to fix our own problems here first. Crime, hunger, housing, unemployment and education all need to be addressed at home and fixed to within 99.99%. Right now, as a nation (and without looking at the exact numbers) we are somewhere around 97-98% on these issues (this is probably a high number), and I realize that achieving a perfect 100% in all of these things is nearly impossible, but it's not improbable. It can be done, but to do it we have to keep all that money we send to other countries within our own borders and spend it, and the time that goes with it, on ourselves first before we have any justification for helping another society achieve the same goals. I would expect it take a full generation of dedication to accomplish these lofty goals, but it can be done...If we want to help the world, we must learn to lead by example and not with our pocket books, then and only then will we be able to properly help those nations and societies who need it.
