In tough times we watch our money, why isn't Gov't doing the same for us? No foreign aid, only disaster relief?

In tough times we watch our money, why isn't Gov't doing the same for us? No foreign aid, only disaster relief?
Why are we sending Foreign Aid to rich countries like Russia,Venezuela, Saudi Arabia. This is not beneficial to Americans. Get the U.N. out of the U.S., they drain our finances . What happened to their renovation project that they wanted us to pay for? It is time to keep American dollars for Americans. That way the Government could make a grant to Catastrophic Disease Programs and leave Health Care alone. I'm sitting here with the news on my TV and the segment included the information I posted. Does anyone answer the question asked? And, I did run for office, work on campaigns etc.
