The underlying problem is a corrupt and irresponsible Congress, a problem that won't be fixed under the present two party alignment.

That is to say we should simply tell the world we need our own money for our own problems and let the rest of the G8, soon to be G9 pick up the slack for half a decade. Most of the aid recipients hate us anyway so we have nothing to loose politically from that move. France, Germany, Belgium and Russia should pick up the tab for a while as well as the Chinese and Japanese. Since they are adamant about not supporting counter-terrorism, let them feed the rest of the planet while we rebuild the Gulf Coast.
