Rummage Sale "Mexico Mission" Just pissed me off

This has been bugging me since I saw it yesterday. Its a Project by the Cub Scouts I believe. At least that was who was out front waving some flags.
But what has me bugged is why do we always seem to be helping other countries. When we here in the USA have so many Hurting.
Well I think I came up with the reason. If we are to help those here we only Provide food and other essentials. These only last so long then we are right back having to help them again. A no win situation cause as far as I feel they just want help not a hand up.
But when we go into other countries most times unless it is an emergency earthquake, flood or say a Hurricane we are there to help them help themselves. Giving them a better method to grow food, provide them with a means for clean water.
Sure they will not get rich but they will better be able to help themselves.
Then I got to thinking why is it most time these countries are to the south of us. South America or Africa. Hardly ever hear of something to the North.
One of the southern Areas that Keep coming to mind for me is New Orleans why is the government still thinking of Providing Billions of Dollars to that Hole. Why do I still see ads for help Katrina.
Lastly with all that's been going on in Australia and New Zealand how much aid has really went that way or are they just taking care of themselves.
Kind of wondering how everybody else felt.

If someone in this country needs help every one calls them a no good lazy slob. Yet we send billions to other country's poor DISADVANTAGED people.
Kind of what I'm saying but why is it here we just hand out food and some other Items.
But in other countries we provide them a means to provide for themselves.
Would it not be better to get folks working here.
and start helping people here.
I dont care what yo ucall them,
but they lost their jobs
they lost their homes.
they need our help.
we need to stop sending money overseas.
