Candidly I can say this is the most pessimistic I have felt about the outlook for the US in my adult life. Borne out of self-inflicted wounds, the trend seems to be further deterioration. Unfortunately it seems that things will only have to get worse before there is a necessary response for change.

President Trump and Congress must act now to restore vital foreign aid programs, ensuring bipartisan support to keep America safe, strong and prosperous. The pause and possible termination of foreign aid activities is detrimental to the United States and our allies, and we urge the President and Congress to prevent further harm.
