In 2010 the U.S. gave away some 55 Billion dollars to countries all over the world.
In addition to all the homeless – many of them veterans – there is always the subject of the abject poverty in hundreds of U.S. inner cities.
Not that I believe in government welfare at all, but since we do it anyway, I ask a simple question; HOW can our government justify giving away one PENNY to ANY foreign nation while our own citizens live this way?
And the ultimate irony is that most of our homeless people paid taxes at one time WHICH WERE USED TO GIVE AWAY AS FOREIGN AID!
WHERE THE HELL IS THE OUTRAGE over this???
I can’t be the ONLY one who sees the immoral, un-constitutional and criminal nature of what our congress does with our tax money, when they give it away by the billions and billions every year.
Rotten organizations like U.S.A.I.D. petition congress for the funds and congress always approves it.
Then it goes to foreign governments who ultimately don’t even feed their people with it, but use it to strengthen their hold on the populace.
And does anyone wonder why during this “sequestration” that foreign aid has not even been mentioned?
While they cut more domestic things like air traffic control and White House Tours???

Like I said in another thread, we had fires out here in Sac, I will have to LOOK again to see if there are still homeless after everything cools down.
We have to give it away or else the rest of the world would recognize it as junk money that is printed and represents nothing, we basically buy value into our currency by giving it away. The chinese know this it is a great leverage to have and is the reason they are trying to do the same, plus their biggest threat is america so if they can get countries to turn ours down and accept theirs then we would stop being a threat as we could no longer afford it with valueless money.
