I lost my daughter at 21. I had to give her up because I was broke, no place to take her, no money to take her. That was very traumatic.
It doesn't make a lot of sense for us to borrow money from the Chinese to go give to another country for humanitarian aid. We ought to get the Chinese to take care of the people.
Something's very wrong with a nation that would rather spend money on war than take care of its children.
