Letter: Stop giving away U.S. tax dollars

The Columbian
Published: January 6, 2013, 4:00pm

Reading Robert F. Nesvick Jr.’s Dec. 29 letter, “Cut back on foreign assistance,” I finally read that someone else says it, too: Cut the handouts and money that we give to all these foreign countries. Every year we give so much money to countries that don’t even like us. We need to tell the people we elect to stop giving away our hard-earned money.

Plus, let’s have no more long-term leaders. We give the president eight years to try to fix things. It’s time to do the same thing with all of our representatives. You only get eight years in office and them you are out.
