David Cameron wants to give away lots more of our hard earned money in foreign aid. Running a country is like running a household – you have to learn to live within your means.
First you pay the bills, and secondly you pay off your debts.
If you are lucky enough to have some money left over, your might then give some money to charity.
But if you are over spending every week, and getting deeper and deeper into debt, you should not be giving money away in foreign aid.
There is an old adage that says ‘charity begins at home’.
