The United States does't send people to the Moon anymore because we've already had dozens of landings on the moon from 1969 to 1974 or whenever the last moon mission was. Been there, Done that, Got the Tee Shirt!
And it's really expensive, so we decided it wasn't a good use for our taxpayer money to keep visiting the place.
A mission to the moon requires an objective. The original objectives were to first, demonstrate that it could be done (and that the US had the technology to do it - this was part of showing that the US was better than the USSR, during the Cold War period), second, to learn something about the moon, and about space travel. Those objectives were achieved.
There are plenty of other possible objectives for space travel to the moon or elsewhere. We have only begun to do the many interesting and useful things that can be done in outer space. However it is true, as noted above, that travelling to the moon is very expensive, and at the present time, when the US is deeply in debt, has huge budget deficits, and has a number of very expensive problems, it would be difficult to spend a lot of money on space travel. The time does not seem to be right.
