How exactly do you propose we fix it? What exactly is "it"?
The US sends more foriegn aid money than any other country, around $30 billion (excluding the loans China tries to pass off as aid). That's just the amount from the government. There is a lot of charitable donations and work that come from nongovernment groups too. The party issues you speak of can be tricky. Some of that divide can be a difference in views on how something should be done. Some people oppose government charity and want private charity to take a bigger role, and they donate accordingly. Of course that's not the case for everyone.
Many of the issues in today's society will not simply disappear by throwing money at them. That said, I do think the homeless issue could be handled better. I think Norway or a neighboring country has a good program that focuses on getting people back into the workforce.
