The population "nobody" cares about

Homeless problems all across the country, disproportionately impacting those that have served the country.
Inadequate mental health care.
The inability for many to afford basic health care.
Food insecurity in areas all across the country while we consistently waste food in other places.
A country in debt to its people, and its people in debt to financial institutions. One big nation of debt.
The list could ho on and on...

We don't have the murder rates and violence that exists in some of those countries, but the money that would be spent by our government in those places could very well go towards at least helping to solve some of these problems our own citizens face.

I agree but I think there is even a far greater concern that trumps all of those, which is putting our troops on the ground which would result in casualties (in Africa). I cant imagine the American public being for any troop intervention over there that would cost American lives regardless of how noble the cause without us being attacked first.
