The Global Policeman
The United States has long acted as the global policeman and has done much good to help countries that were in need of help. The government has always helped those who were in need of support, no matter what the problem was. The question is: should the U.S. continue to be the one to police all the global affairs when it have more important problems to solve at home? The answer is no, because of the many issues facing the U.S. government and the inadequate support from other organizations. The U.N. seems to always wait until the U.S. takes action before jumping in to help half-heartedly, while others don't even bother to lend a hand. Therefore, the U.S. should not continue to be the world's policeman.
Point 1: The U.S. government has not completely solved problems "at home".
The U.S. economy is quite far from its best condition, and society isn't that great either. The crimes rates are not high, but they are high for a first-world country. Our economy is still struggling due to a growing population and illegal immigrants draining our taxes. These problems need to be solved before thinking about the problems of other countries.
Point 2: Wars overseas do us no good other than give us more debt and higher taxes.
The wars in the Middle East have done nothing but drain our economy. We should be concerned about our own country's welfare more than those of others. The United States government has wasted more than 37 billions dollars on foreign aid when that money could have been used to help our struggling economy. Such things such as foreign aid and oversea wars should be handled by international organizations like the United Nations.
Point 3: Although it have good intentions, being the "international policeman" does not benefit the U.S. citizens.
The citizens of the U.S. do not benefit from victories overseas in foreign countries. The government should be looking after our needs instead of those of a foreign country. Foreign aid only helps those receiving the
