World must do more for USA in time of disaster

It is wonderful to see how Americans

respond to a disaster with no concern for color, gender or anything else save solving the problem.

If Hurricane Harvey had hit another country (think Haiti) as hard as it hit us, we know how America would have responded to such a disaster.

So how did the rest of the world respond to our problem? I didn’t see any significant aid coming from any of the countries that we have so generously helped in their time of need.

And where is the United Nations? It condemned us for not calling out racism right away in Charlottesville, Va., while it hasn’t given high praise for the racial unity exhibited in Texas. That kind of work is who we really are.

Time to get out of the U.N., and time to stop the waste of taxpayer money being sent to aid other countries. Sometimes tough love is necessary, and it may be time for us to tell the rest of the world that the bank is closed. Barry Levy Hawthorne, Calif.

USA TODAY’s articles focusing on which

shoes the first lady wore to visit the flood ravaged areas in and near Houston after Hurricane Harvey disturbed me.

Really? Should that be a top 10 news story in this country on any given day?

That is tabloid stuff, not real information. It’s not news.

I did not vote for President Trump, and I also don’t care how the Trumps attire themselves. Jon Turner Canton, Ga.
