Global poverty is an international issue. Other countries are inclined to look to the U.S. with its great wealth to take an active role in assisting poor nations. People here spend money trying to counter baldness while people in other countries are starving to death. On the other hand, foreign aid may be distributed as political favors rather than going to those most in need. Should the U.S. work on achieving the Millennium Aid goal for contributions to increase the U.S. contribution to its GDP or help countries that are starving?
