STOP BORROWING TO GIVE IT AWAY!

Submitted by: Arnie Rosner

The specific numbers and countries may not be precise and it is unclear as to what year this data is. However, I did make one check on it at http://ivn.us/2012/08/05/united-states-foreign-aid-and-budget/
After reviewing this site, I reaffirm my basic belief in the content of the message sent to me. Politicians continue to attempt to justify such give aways  as a means of stabilizing some of these areas and of influencing the various countries to cooperate with the US and allies. I continue to seek proof; what is their metric for success? I also reject the idea that we should give one red cent to Muslims as they have sworn to destroy us and their actions support their rhetoric.

So we are held hostage by false hope that negotiation will produce favorable results from such states at North Korea, Iran, Syria,...........if we will give them just a little more time and flexibility.

But that is just my own belief on the situation. Everybody has to make their own choice in life. My opinion, right now over 50% of Americans have made choices which are slowly destroying us. Our "leadership" lies to us and the 535 people who are supposed to protect our constitution and follow it to the letter until it is properly amended are largely gross incompetents and profiteers.

   "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest America become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."           Author unknown but I like it

Can't verify all below for total accuracy, but think about the spending costs for aid to other entities.       Well? Republicans And DEMOCRATS   We read all the jokes and forward the good ones but I just wonder who will Pass this on. How about you sending it on, and back to me.  I just wonder how many I will get back? I am very happy to be Of the 1%. Someone please tell me what is  the basic failure of All the people that run this country!!!!!! Is it "run" or "mis-manage"?   Both Democrats and Republicans we're "broke" And can't help Our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless, Hurricane Sandy Victim's, Etc.,???????????   In the last years we have provided direct cash aid to Hamas - 351 M, Libya 1.45 B, Egypt - 397 M, Mexico - 622 M, Russia - 380 M, Haiti - 1.4 B, Jordan - 463 M, Kenya - 816 M, Sudan - 870 M, Nigeria - 456 M, Uganda - 451 M, Congo - 359 M, Ethiopia - 981 M, Pakistan - 2 B, South Africa - 566 M, Senegal - 698 M, Mozambique - 404 M, Zambia - 331 M, Kazakhstan - 304 M, Iraq - 1.08 B, Tanzania - 554 M, With literally Billions of Dollars and they still hate us!!!!   Our retired seniors Living on a 'fixed income' Receive NO aid   Nor do they get any breaks while our government And religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions Of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food To Foreign Countries!   We have Hundreds of adoptable Children who are shoved aside To make room for The adoption of Foreign orphans. AMERICA: a country where we have Homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going Without needed medication and mentally ill without treatment -etc. YET.......................   They have A 'Benefit' For the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, Ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors And medical supplies.   Imagine if  The *GOVERNMENT* Gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.   Sad isn't it?
