Getting deeper in debt to help our enemies.
Most of us have distinct visual memories from one of the most horrific days in U.S. history – September 11, 2001. Many of those visuals are the smoking and collapsing towers, while others are firefighters carrying corpses out of the rubble. Still others are of people screaming and running away from the Trade Center as it fell, while others are of the smoldering aftermath at Ground Zero.
One of my visual memories from that fateful day comes from when television news crews captured reactions from other areas of the world. The one that really stands out in my mind is of Palestinians dancing in the streets, celebrating the terrorism that had just been inflicted upon the most generous country in world history.
Recently, the Obama Administration gave $500 million to the Palestinians and is seeking another $200,000 in aid, despite previous attempts by Congress to freeze that money. But that’s not the only group of people we support despite their hatred for us. We also give $1.5 billion to Egypt, $1 billion to Pakistan and $600 million to Jordan. I wonder how much money we’d be giving to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis if they were still around.
America has a deficit of approximately $17 trillion. Detroit is going bankrupt. Hundreds of thousands of Americans, including children, are wondering where their next meal is going to come from. And yet our government is giving away billions of dollars that we desperately need to people who hate us and would never lift a finger to help us under any circumstances. I have just one question. Why?
Some politicians are wondering the same thing, and fortunately they’re becoming more vocal about it. South Carolina State Senator Lee Bright calls foreign aid a form of redistribution of wealth and says it should only be permissible when the action is vital to our national interests. Senator Mike Lee of Utah says he thinks a lot of Americans have a problem with taxing citizens in order to give it to foreigners.
Former U.S. Representative Ron Paul says, “To me, foreign aid is taking money from poor people in this country and giving it to rich people in poor countries.”
I couldn’t agree more. Continuing to fund countries with ties to radical Islam while the U.S. suffers economically is one of countless insanities our government practices on an ongoing basis.
How do you feel about your tax dollars going to countries where so many of the people hate us? Please let me know how you feel about this very important topic.
It’s really sad that we borrow money just to give it away to other countries while our own country falls apart from the inside out. Our infrastructure crumbles, our industry moves out. Let’s help ourselves first.
these studies about owls frogs lizards, etc. needs to stop now
When 50 cents of every dollar we use is borrowed how can anyone see that giving our money away as good management of my tax dollars. If they are in office vote them out and do so every time there is an election and make them know .You do it our way or you can go home
Where can I get one of these buttons??
If these other countries need money, let them borrow their own so they have to pay it back unlike America where it is a gift from God. It is time we take care of our selves for a change. We need to pay back all those trillions of dollars.
Wow this is a mess to much money going to the other places and people.
I’ve been asking this same question for years. Why are we supporting the world when our seniors are being told that OUR own money; Social Security and Medicare is going broke, why are babies dying in this country because of poor materal and pregnancy care? why are so many uninsured? why can’t they afford insurance? Because we give the money away to countries who hate us and terrorize us. I think any country that is not an ally in trouble should not receive any funds.
Speaking of foreign aid. Why are we allowing the CIA to fund ISIS? Why does the U.S.A. have to borrow it’s own money with interest? Do you borrow money from yourself at interest? And all of those income taxes, we all just payed, are only enough money to pay the interest on our own debt they say we owe to the Fecal Reserve. I say screw the debt; you can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip. Where does charity begin, when common sense says no? Answer: Whenever you say “Yes” to someone else, make sure you’re not saying “No” to youself. That’s my definition of selfishness and stupidity.
When one looks at our national debt, it looks like a huge amount, and it is, but add in all of the UNFUNDED obligations, such as Social Security, and we are talking closer to 100 TRILLION DOLLARS. When other countries start to demand payment for all of the worthless notes which we have issued, then our problems will really start.
The only thing which we can really look for is that Jesus Christ will be coming soon and all of the upheaval and strife will soon come to an end. Many of the world leaders will discover that there is a truly just God who will judge them solely on whether they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Jesus isn’t coming soon enough. Something else needs to happen in the meantime.
we have been screaming about this for decades. we have a GOP run House and they control the purse. Stop it now. I am sick of talk. And then impeach this jerk and get him the heck out….And we baby boomers are the last hope as we know what is going on and how very dangerous it is,and when we die this Nation will be lost as they seem able to talk people into ‘offing’ themselves to save the environment.It is crunch time.
No, we shouldn’t be giving any money to countries that hate us. Frankly, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to be giving money away to other countries when we’re so deep in debt ourselves. If we don’t have it, we don’t have it. It’s crazy to be borrowing money from China while we’re giving money away to others. Our country can’t pay 40% of its bills each year, and yet it gives away some of the money it does have. Then it borrows from China the amount of money it gave away plus the rest of what it needs to support this country for another year. If our country would use the money it’s giving away to pay some of it’s bills, then it wouldn’t have to borrow as much from China each year. If nothing else, it should at least pay the debt down with the money it gives away.
Can you imagine what would happen if you tried to handle your own finances like that?
One more thing, you can’t buy love, real friendship, or loyalty, but the United States hasn’t learned that yet.
We not only borrow from China- but buy everything from China AND GIVE THEM foreign aid! Is NOT that intelligent or what?
I think Kieth Walden is right . I think he has the right Idea. somebody in a higher place can get a petition started so we can do something about all this money that gets thrown out to countries that hate Americans. But until someone starts a petition, all this talk is just talk, and talk is gone in the wind. Lets see some action. :)
As a country we are $18 trillion dollars broke and we can not afford to give one dime to other countries. Washington DC needs to pull their head out and get our country back on track before any more of our tax dollars are sent anywhere.
Where can I get a button like you show in the picture? (“Bankrupt America? Yes We Can!”)
I’m continually outraged over the wasteful, fraudulent, deceptive, and otherwise questionable uses that the government finds for my tax contribution.
Another thing, I know I would contribute much more to charitable causes were it not for the amount I’m compelled to contribute to the government so they can do God knows what.
Oh, Susana, don’t you cry for me! Remember that song? And she isn’t crying for America. She doesn’t know what is happening. Obama speaks with “forked tongue”. Whatever group he is speaking to, he says what they want to hear. Except our allies. He is indeed helping our enemies and denying our allies. Folks, it is part of the “new world order” plan…to level the playing field!. Which means brining America down, equal to all other nations who are dependent upon the government for everything. The government will be God and all civilians will be slaves Yes, Susana, I have heard Obama on more than one occasion refer to his “Muslim faith”. Remember, he sat for 20 years under a preacher with a Muslim background and who declared from his pulpit “God damn America!” The older generation of America know what must be done to save America, but they are physically unable. The younger generation is so hedonistic that they aren’t interested in governmental affairs. So, America is going down. I am copying a statement I added to the blog regarding the Chaplain speaking about God. Read it and don’t get scared but get ready.
I hope all the REAL JESUS BELIEVERS are aware that all these happenings are exactly what was prophesied in the Bible. So, why are we surprised and getting our dander up? We should rejoice to know that the Bible is TRUE. And why are we surprised that our “fundamentally changed” government under the leadership of a president who promised such, is allowing preposterous changes in affairs? Do we not know that he has surrounded himself with advisors which are anti-American with histories of communist activities, anti-Christian beliefs, and new world order progressiveness? Do we not know that they have declared the Bible and our American Constitution antiquated and of no value today? Do we not know Matthew 24:30 “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN; and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Do we not know why they will mourn? Matthew 24:37 “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” It goes on to say how the earth was going about their own business, forgetting God, doing their own thing, which scriptures declare were very violent, Genesis 6:11-13. Do we not know Luke 18:7-8 “And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, SHALL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?” This verifies how faithless people will become. But for the FAITHFUL, read Revelation 20:4 -….”I saw the souls of them that were BEHEADED for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God…………..Do we not know that guillotines are being purchased by America by the shiploads? For what? It does no good to go about condemning the unbeliever. He is condemned already, John 3:16-21. Pray that they will come to knowledge of truth, while we are taking a stand for truth, even though it may mean the surrendering of our life here on earth, as it meant for Jesus, while he was praying “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I say stop the flow of the river of green to these foreign countries who have no concern or care for America and I’m sure are actually using our money against the US. Yes we do have plenty of our own needs right here in America.
We need to help our own country. Let the other counties take care of them selves1111
all of those countries are our ‘enemies’, i.e. Muslims, so we are aiding our enemies. That is bad but we are also supporting the UN with most of their dollars when it is run by countries who hate us, who vote against almost every thing the US supports in the UN, yet we are the biggest money source. In addition we have their headquarters which costs us money to protect it, police the areas and pay for all the delegates illegal parking bills.
I would vote to Stop All Foreign Aid due to our debt situation, and I would vote to stop paying dues to the UN, invite them to find headquarters overseas, and then withdraw from the organization.
Good Idea Robert – I’m with you.
The Congressmen and Senators complaining that foreign aid takes money away from poor people are hypocrites when you consider that all of them voted to cut welfare, foodstamps, funding for education, jobs programs, medical and science research, and health care for women. They also failed to support equal pay for women, or an increase in the minimum wage. If they cared about the poor people in this country, then they would do something to help.
“If they cared about the poor people in this country, then they would do something to help.”
Which wouldn’t be to give them handouts, but to do away with all the leftist “emtitlement” programs (including those giving away our assets to enemy nations), to protect our borders from illegal aliens, and then to help to poor to become productive citizens though real education (vs indoctrination), and helping small business to produce jobs for them, or better yet, help them produce jobs for themselves.
Handouts for foreigners of all kinds needs to stop, as does handouts to lazy people within this country. Handouts should be given only to the truly handicapped (ie: incapacitated), and to those showing an ability and desire to start an enterprise which will employ themselves and hopefully others.
I agree that as long as we preach “charity starts at home” ANY money we send to ANY country takes away from the needs of Americans. This is our home and until we get things in good financial and social order here, we look hypocritical in the eyes of other nations. And, as one person commented, this started way before the current Administration.
These Liberal freeloaders want hand outs because there to lazy to work, only our Jesus can save us now! Amen.
That shows how little you know bub. 75% of people on food stamps have jobs. Their employers do not pay a living wage so they can support a family. While there are freeloaders, most people want to work. The greedy companies make billions in profits but refuse to pay a livable wage to their employees. The wealth distribution is the worst it’s ever been in the history of this country. The 1% elect the Presidents, Senators, and Congressmen, they have an iron grip on the American political system!!!!!!!
If I held up a twenty dollar bill in front of a group of people and asked how many of them wanted it, no strings attached, don’t you know most would raise their hands?
If I threw it on the floor and ground it into the dirt and grime on the floor, then picked it up and offered it to them again, don’t you know most of those people would still want it?
No matter how “dirty” our money is, almost everyone in the world wants it. Why? Because it is the world’s “reserve” currency. Any bank on Earth will honor it.
Suppose our government became “stingy” with it? Suppose the Chinese and the Russians decided on another form of currency to use instead of the accepted “reserve” currency of the West? Would our money begin to lose its’ value? How long would it take for the money we call the dollar to crash on the world market and become worthless?
Do you think that as long as we continue to flood the world with our currency nations of people all around the planet will continue to value it?
Our money is no longer backed by gold. As a matter of fact, in my humble opinion, I believe the wealth of the American people, our gold, is no longer in the vaults of Fort Knox. I think our crooked-assed “leaders” have robbed us blind. But, alas, that is for another commentary. The point I’m trying to make here is simple:
Without U.S. dollars flowing through the bank accounts of people all over the world, our currency WILL crash. With us under this crushing debt it may well happen anyway. Our only real hope is for people to wake up to three very important things.
One. We must begin to spend our money on domestically produced goods. This will curb our deficit.
Two. We must begin to develop our own energy reserves. Even if it means “fracking”. We must develop , produce, use, and export oil and natural gas to other markets around the globe.
Three. we must continue, (gag) to be generous with our aid to nations around the globe to continue to have it perceived to be of value.
There are lots of other things that need to be done to save us from becoming a third world nation. We need to convene a constitutional convention to repair the damage done to our republic by greedy men, restore “real” education to the peoples of this nation, secure our borders and deport illegals,,,,just to name a few. But I believe, unfortunately, giving our hard earned wealth to the masses of the planet is necessary if we are to retain the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
Personally, I’m tired of being spit upon while one hand take the money and the other hand is preparing to slap us…probably with an IED
Even our “friends” don’t repay their debts while they have more available money than we do. AND we are still giving to them long after the “loan” was given.
It does seem our present administration does not have our best interest foremost in his mind.
It’s time to cut the feeding trough off.
Do you know what really fries my eggs? When our government sends money or supplies to a third world country for the people in need, like in an Earthquake, typhoon, mudslide, or a nuclear plant melt down, and all these supplies sit on the docks until some general of high office politician comes along and confiscates these goods for themselves. Then these A-holes turn around and sell this surplus warehoused goods and pocket the cash. Millions of dollars goes into one or two peoples pockets at the expense of their people.
Should the U.S. Government hand over any cash, well lets say it goes back to the Regan Economics, “Trickle Down Theory.” This is where high Government officials of the third world country keep most of the cash and let a little trickle down to their friends. The citizens will have to fend for themselves.
This is what gets my mad, The U.S. Government is fully aware of this situation; yet, the Government will continue to supple goods and cash to that foreign government with the expectation of, “Is the cost of doing business.”
The U.S. contention is this, if you make certain foreign officials beholding to you by looking the other way; then when you need their help you can call in a few favors. This is what the U.S. government did with Pakistan. We needed to have a country close to the Taliban, yet, neutral. The U.S. bought and paid the president of Pakistan for his country’s help and services. India was given the offer first, but, they didn’t agree with what we were doing and they were vocal and criticizing how we were handling the Taliban problem. When we went to India’s enemy, Pakistan, the Indian government almost had a cow. India realized their mistake. they could fire any missiles or engage Pakistan without getting the United States involved, because Pakistan is now under the United States protection. The price of doing business.
The United States looks at it, as the cost of doing business in the world theater. Besides, all the USA has to do is print more money when things get low.
Our Commander in Chief told everyone that he was a Christian when he was running for office and later slipped up in an interview stating that he was a Muslim. We have an enemy working in our midst who is working for our downfall. All of his actions prove it. From wasting our resources to not backing up his red line drawn in the sand, we are being viewed as being weak. We are not developing new weapons and all of our nukes are not pointed at their targets but at different points in the oceans! In Luke 10:18 Jesus said, ” I see Lucifer as lightning fallen from the heights”. If you look up the ancient words of the original text in the Strong’s Concordance, lightning and heights, Lightning is Barach and heights is Obama. Basically, Jesus said, ” I see Lucifer as Barach Obama!
I don’t know where you get your information, but Obama has never said that he is a Muslim. That is a complete fabrication. He is not an enemy. Obama simply has political beliefs that differ from yours. That does not make him Satan! Such drama! And who are you to put words in the mouth of Jesus Christ himself? What and incredibly deluded individual you are!
And you have your head up your ass. Try taking it out for a few minutes and start counting the muslim’s in high positions in Washington DC. And if that takes to much of your time, try looking at a speech that King Obummer made when it stated that America is not a christian country, it is a muslim country. He also did away with the celebrated day of prayer. Wake up and watch other news programs than ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC and least of all with the worst ratings of all CNN.
When Emperor Obuma’s brainwashed masses finally awaken, they will find themselves inside the barb-wired fences of some gulag. Of course, it will be too late by then. Keep on trying to educate them. We have no other choice but to fight the good fight for freedom even if some don’t deserve to reap the rewards.
JUST A REMINDER. YOU DON’T KNOW THE REAL JESUS. READ THE BOOK OF THOMAS AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE REAL MAN CALLED JESUS!! YOUR A RADICAL RELIGOUS FANATIC!
ON 9/11 i worked at power plant down the the river from the trade center we got a report that a plane hit one of the building we thought it was just an accident until we saw the second plane hit. IT was horrible watching theses buildings fall .we are our own wost enemy we have funded the world including Europe after world war two this not just about Obama Regan funded bin laden during the Afghan and Russian war we created this monster. because we haven’t learned to keep our nose out of every country. we love Democracy in this country but you can’t push it on other countries that don’t want it. we didn’t learn from Vietnam what happens when you occupy another Country Iraq is worse and we are stuck with it. Why OIL this is the price we pay
As to your question “WHY”. It should take a complete moron to not see that is OBOMA’s agenda TO bankrupt America so we will be completely defenceless.
Absolutely! It is part of his agenda to shore up third world countries and turn America into a third world country. He hates America because ‘we have lived in the lap of luxury’ and we should know how it feels. That is why we have $17 trillion dollar debt. He wants us to live with no water, no electricity and live in sod houses and huts. He is adamant about refusing to fix our infrastructure, for this very reason. He lets millions of illegals in this country so they will use up all welfare and leave the American citizens scrambling through garbage cans to subsist. He is an ungodly man, with an evil heart and surrounds himself with the same kind of humans. He will be judged, by his words and deeds, at the White Throne.
In the meantime, ‘we the people’ must stay alert to his intentions and be prepared to fend off his militia.
Prayerfully, God will touch all the Islamist hearts and fill them with God’s love so Allah will go down.
Only a complete moron would fail to see that Obama saved our economy from complete economic collapse. Bankrupt our country ? Why? That’s insane!
That is nuts. The Democrats and Obama tried numerous times to pass jobs bills including funding for major infrastructure improvement and the Republican led House blocked them every time. Do you not watch the news?
Here is another idiot whos information is based on what she see’s on the lame stream media. Try looking up Obummer in California talking about repairing a bridge there. The democrap governor and Obummer gave the job to China. How’s that for your information. Stop watching the lame stream media and try looking elsewhere. You just might get thee true story about Obummer and the lame stream media. By the way, One of the reporters from NBC wrote a book (Try reading books instead of watching cartoons on TV) about how the White House (Obummer) controls the lame stream media. Remove head from ass!
#10. I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry
whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my German Shepherd.
#9. I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4%
on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same
gallon at 15% isn’t.
#8. I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better
job of spending the money I earn than I would.
#7. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as
nobody is offended by it.
#6. I vote Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun
and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from
murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911
service that get police to your home in order to identify your body
after a home invasion.
#5. I vote Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of
babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates
alive and comfy.
#4. I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to
free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we
should take away Social Security from those who paid into it.
#3. I vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should
not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break
even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as
the Democrat Party sees fit.
#2. I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite
the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never
get their agendas past the voters.
…And the
#1 reason I vote Democrat is because I think it’s better to pay $billions$
for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset
some endangered beetle, gopher or fish here in America. But it’s OK
to not care about the beetles, gophers or fish in those other countries.
I guess you’re one person that has never heard of Obamacare!? You’re also evidently in the dark regarding the multiple MILLIONS of dollars Obama has spent taking trips, vacations (around $400M last I checked… FACTS the government provides), playing golf, etc., etc., etc.!!?? I’d LOVE to hear your response to the over 9,000 HOMELESS VETERANS (S.F. Bay Area alone) that DID THEIR JOB and then got ignored when they returned home!?? Regardless of what their job entailed… they are STILL HUMANS and they are AMERICANS!! Maybe you also believe the INCREDIBLE LIE that is now (after several previous monikers) “Global Warming” that numerous reliable scientists, NASA, Weather channels, historical weather data over the past 100 years or so that say not only has the earth NOT seen significant temperature raises in the past 18 years but actually is getting COLDER and setting record ice growth, record polar bears number increases, record snows, blizzards and all other manner of winter uncomfortableness!!??!??? Try doing some FACT FINDING in your copious spare time. You just might learn something of value! It certainly would beat staring at your thumbs wiggling around on your phone!! Maybe Obama isn’t the “upfront, honest person” you seem to think he is?!!?!!
Susana, how many trillions of dollars of more Obama debt do we have to add before you realize bankruptcy and complete economic collapse is on the way?
All you Obama lovers out there I hope you got all the changes he promised you.
AMEN
I agree with you, but you left out some vital information about the reality of situation. For example, the aid we give to Israel is more than other countries COMBINED! We also give this country our most coveted military technology. The funding of radical Islam is just part of a greater Zionist agenda to undermine the soveriegnty of the American people. Just like we did with Hitler and Stalin. Did you leave out this information because of fear of being labeled as an ‘anti-semite’, or was it because you are truly ignorant of this?
Did you forget that Israel is an ally? This is about giving $ to our enemies.
Sounds like Beau is a lover of the Holocaust, and regrets Hitler didn’t finish the “job”.
You are a typical liberal tool — trying to misdirect the actual point. He didn’t mention it because the article is about sending millions of American tax dollars to countries that HATE this country. So there is no reason to mention the only country in that part of the world that is an ally. This has nothing to do with sending money to allies that YOU personally don’t like — stay on topic, liberal!
here’s a reality check for you Beau, did you know Israel protects, within its borders, hundreds of thousands of palistines( whigh by the way didn’t exist until 1948). That the ruling party of palistine, Hezbollah, stated that they wanted all the Jews to gather in Jerusalem so that they could push them all into the sea. FBI ops captured Intel from these groups listing the MSA(muslim student association) as a training group. They are all over our college campus nationwide. Recently in California David Horowitz asked a leader in on such group if she agreed with that and she said yes. So you tell me, should we really be giving aid to people actively waging genoVidal war on an allie?
Do you have any idea why Israel is an ally to the U.S.? Israel is positioned as the perfect window to the Middle Eastern countries. By having Israel as an ally we can monitor the actions of those Midle Eastern countries that wish us harm. If Israel no longer existed, the U.S. would never know when that “missile message” from Iraq or any of the other volatile muslim countries would occur. Israel is necessary for America’s protection. And obama, being the muslim he is, has been trying to undermine our relationship with her. But this is a necessary relationship for America’s survival, so bho chooses his words and actions carefully lest he be found out as a traitor. Oops, too late! We already know and are waiting for the piwers that be to do something wih this “Flaming Fraud”. It’s coming as tempers flare and rights are stomped on. One day bho will stomp the wrong person and his quest here – or anywhere on earth – will be over! If you can’t feel the tension in the air these days or see the desperation in people’s eyes, then you are a part of the problem. Be aware. When the SHTF, the dreamers will be on their own and the first to fall.
AND HERE IS ANOTHER HEAD UP ASS. I believe if you really want the truth ( By the way, Israel is and always has been close friend to America) you might try looking at or taking the time to find out what the hell you are talking about. I believe Obummer just gave some of the latest fighter planes (F16’s) to a muslim country. GEEEEEEEE, bet you did not know that? By the way, did you buy your computer from the same place as all the other Obummer Lovers on this site? Obummer stamps? Wake up and smell the truth
If Obama were a republican or anything other than a Democrat, he would have been impeached long ago, no matter what color the skin !!
I don’t believe that impeachment would have been the action taken ; it would have been arrest for Treason!
What the #$!× ? are you going to impeach him for? List some specific charges for some specific actions. “Treason” is not a specific charge.
Sources close to aides in Congress say the law clearly states “any use of military force by Obama without explicit consent and authorization of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.”
There are many lawsuits out against Obama. Just because the verdict has not been rendered yet doesn’t mean crimes haven’t been committed. Arizona Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, has filed a lawsuit against Obama’s enforcement of immigration laws, John Boehner has file one against Obama’s implementation of ACA, and Philip J. Berg (democrat) filed one about Obama’s eligibility to run for the Presidency to name a few. People who try to cover up his trail of criminal activity through deception like the liberal press or Eric Holder and Harry Reid are habitual liars not the people trying to follow the rules of law.
The real problem is that most of the money that we “give” to foreign countries has a BIG string attached. They must use it to buy Arms from us! Do you continue to vote to put people in office who support such expenditures? And Linda, remember that your social security is protected by the federal government. Be sure to have your elected officials keep it that way instead of “allowing” us to put it in the stock market or some other losing alternative.
Sorry , But putting the amount of money any place but SS will yield much more for your retirement. Just take your calculator and compare to growth over the years!
The government makes little on the money invested in SS. All the information is out there.
When you vote for a Democrat. You worship at the altar of abortion. When you vote for a Democrat he stoked the fires of corruption. Remember, it was Democrats and only Democrats they gave you, Obama care. Stop for a minute and look at any Democrat-controlled city or state that you can see what they’ve done to the people in the government there all the verge of bankruptcy. The worst thing about it is the people that voted the Democrats into office now want to escape, their state aid to states with Republican governors in Republican control for the people of them financially responsible somewhat but these same people haven’t taken the hint and they want to bring that bankrupting policies with them and instead of embracing the new center rules of responsibility and thriftiness a want to continue to waste. It once again shows that the difference between a blind man in a Democrat is that a blind man would give anything to see. Have a blessed day
We need to get Obama out Before he finishes destoying theU.S. by aiding all our enemies and failing our allies.Stop cutting our military,causing many units to be redeployed over and over.Each individual leaving the military needs employment causing less jobs available’I agree American companies sent to other countries for cheap labor causing our industies to close,should have to pay such high tariff they are forced tg restore American Jobs Lastly vote all politicians over two terms out of office.
I believe it is too late for all of us. It seems all the letter agencies are armed to the teeth while a lot of law abiding citizens can’t afford to buy a gun. The only one we can put our trust in is JESUS. He is the only One we can count on. Every Christian should be praying to JESUS as the Bible commands. God Bless all of us!!!!! Amen.
Stay on topic please — whether true or not, keep your comments on the subject of this article!
My fellow Americans, we can talk alot about whats happening in this country but until we as individuals take up our arms and defend thee freedoms this country was founded on we will only become slaves to the system we have allowed to become a debauchary. i traveled thru the Great Plains states a few years ago and was shocked of how much farmland was laying vacant and overgrown with weeds. I asked myself no wonder a can of peas is $1.60. Does anyone remember when we used to buy that same can of peas on sale for 4 for a $1.00 or better yet 5 for a $1.00. Gas was .59 cents a gallon and you could buy a fully loaded car for less than 10,000. America was flurishing, families took vacations. Everyone was enjoying life. This all was happening less than 40 years ago. One of the biggest problems is our elected officials. Who is voting these people in? I will tell you….it is not you!! Ever wonder whats attached to all these Bills the Democrats and Republicans are fighting over? Your Rights as an American. All these gun laws, buy back of guns at a state level and not allowing us to have certain guns. I live in a big city where I seen the local police driving armered vehicles and stock piling weapons and ammo. this is a fact that is happening throught America. Ever wonder why S.W.A.T and A.T.F. and others went into Waco? The real reason was they wanted to find out how effective they could be on armed Americans. The IRS was considered Unconstitutional!! Taxes???? Is this not why America was founded over 200 years ago. The government has gotten you to buy houses in subdivisions and sell your land and build houses where American families once planted gardens!!! If we don’t wake up today, its going to be to late!! We allow government groups tell us we are killing the OZONE layer. We need to protect our natural resouces while Big Oil companies net millions and billions in profits each quarter while millions are without jobs. How long will we allow the Govenernment, Media, Big Business, Lobbyists lie to us???? Everthing the government does is a LIE!!!! The traffic light cameras, GPS in cell phones, your cell phone provided giving your conversations to the government and phone records….is anyone seeing a trend here??? Read about the Rise and Fall of Rome, my fellow Americans….we adapted some of the ways Rome ruled….our money is becoming useless….what I’m saying here is….America is getting ready to fall. History will repeat itself in our life time. We need to become self sufficiant pay off our personnal debt and grow our own food and get off the grid!!! Most importantly we need to renew our faith in our Creator. We need to stop being numbed by our government and take back our rights!!! How can we give millions away and not have jobs in this country??? Every American Business that has left America and gone overseas should be tarriffed so high they can’t sell there goods here and force them out of business just like they took away there fellow Americans jobs. I could go on and on. I love my country!!! My fellow Americans if we don’t stop our government there will be a total collapse of America as we know it. Remember Mad Max and all these other movies where the govenment controls the people? It will be coming to a city near you.
I have paid off all of my bills and am living on my soc sec. The feeling is grand. And I have enough heirloom seed to plant a garden and live without chemical seeded foods. The downside of all of this is that my husband died and I have no one with whom to share this.
That is sad Linda, I’m in a similar situation; the thing about this is when the shit hits the fan you won’t be able to peacefully or safely plant your garden. We will be trampled & slaughtered to eliminate us by the Gov.’s trained & armed young & strong for the purpose of a “ONE WORLD MUSLIM ORDER”
NO foreign aid until the federal budget is balanced and our people are cared for.
Foreign aid should only be in the form of vouchers for American manufactured goods or food grown in America, no cash, put Americans to work first, sending cash only ends up in the hands of the corrupt in foreign countries.
Best idea I’ve heard ,we give our citizens vouchers for food & housing etc. WHY NOT those others ??AMERICAN
MADE ONLY !!!>>>>^^^^In GOD we trust ,JESUS is #1
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!!!
I agree with Jesse, Jesus is coming again and we need to focus on him and all the lost souls in this world. I am just incensed over all this debt that is mounting up and our children are inheriting it. Sad country we live in. Can’t even trust your government.
amen!
If you look at the back of the dollar bill, you’ll notice the pyramid with eye on it. That’s what the US economy is: one big pyramid scheme. All the money flows from the bottom into the top. Eventually it will collapse, because this kind of economy is not sustainable. For every dollar in circulation, it comes attached with interest. The only way to pay off previous interest is to borrow more money, printing more dollars that come with more interest, and the cycle continues. The debt will continue to rise, the government will continue to borrow from the foreign-owned Federal Reserve, and ever since the dollar lost its gold backing, has become pretty much worthless. Only roughly 3% of all the “money” floating around is tangible. The other 97% is just numbers on a computer or in a ledger somewhere. It’s not “real” money. Whether or not they give it to foreign countries doesn’t matter. They’ll just make more. We’ll continue to pay the bill, and poverty will continue to rise. As long as there’s money in circulation, we’ll always be in debt. It’s coming, people. The collapse is inevitable. I just hope the casualties are minimal when it does, and I hope people wake up before it does.
We should stop all aide to all this countries enemies. They would than look for aide from other countries and place a burden on there economy and people.
Money could be used at home. Build up our industry and military. Providing jobs. new tax dollars and rebuild our inter structure.
We all know what is happening in this country but where are the people to STOP IT ???? We whites are are a minority now ,that is all the WW2 whites that kept this country together in that war time,yes that GENERATION of people that do not exist now.Some one tell me how are we going to stop anything when this man can break the laws of this country and no one can do anything about it.I know he has all his back doors covered so where do we go NOWHERE !! Who has the answer??
Actually, the exact opposite of what you say is true. The States having the most financial problems and having the highest rates of poverty, with the worst school systems and the highest percentages of high school drop outs, teenage pregnancy, food stamps, welfare, and medicaid/medicare are all Republican run states. The wealthiest states are all blue states.
Giving money to other countries has been going on forever and our own people are doing without. I have always said why do we do this since those countries hate America. This should be stopped.
Why don’t we impeach him, some keep threatening, and planning,but they are not doing anything, why? I think they are either scarred or are being bought off, just my opinion, congress do something, impeach the president and his cabinet, and all others associated with him.
Remember what happens to Americans be it people or business that “goes after” obummer, he ruins them. He makes it his personal mission.
I was watching a video yesterday, and it became clear to me. The reason we killed Kaddafi was because he was lobbying for a new currency to replace the dollar that is used to buy all of the worlds oil. Same thing with sadam Hussein. He was trying to get a new currency started. I feel the reason we give our money to other countries, is so they will use it, and keep the US dollar as the standard world currency. I’m not sure what will happen now that China is screaming for a new currency to replace the dollar, but I’m guessing it isn’t going to be good.
Those nations were also not allowing the world bank to overtake their economies. Look for the few nations left that are not part of the world bank regime…and you’ll see targets for the USA and Rothchild cartel.
We did not kill Kaddafi. His own people did. A revolutionary militant group rose up against their own government, hunted Kaddafi down, and killed him when they found him hiding in a drainage ditch. It was on the national news.
‘WHAT’S NEW’
Read the book, Throw them all out, by Peter Schweizer.
John
When are we going to dump the electoral college and “WE THE PEOPLE” meet and ELECT AMERICANS and ditch all these politicians. There has to be a way for us to put OUR people into Washington and ignore the thieves that are there. Force them to wipe is out instead of “playing” us. Whats the difference whether they kill us now or starve us out as slaves?
Obama’s plan is to crash the dollar, which congress just opened the door for him to do. Then he can proclaim martial law and stay in office. He is nothing but a deceiver!!! You can’t believe anything he says. His plan is to take this country into the depths of poverty, bring in foriegn troops to control the people and have a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT!!!! Get ready ,Because it is coming!! We all need to get right with JESUS, and keep our eyes on him.
Very well said.
It’s frustrating that anyone I try to discuss this with thinks I’m a conspiracy nut.
You are a conspiracy nut! Sheesh! So is everyone on here. I suggest none of you apply for jobs as Social Studies or History teachers.
It’s called the “military industrial complex” keep making wars for the war machine and the stockholders. Carl Bernstein a Rockefeller minion and high level globalist Henry Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as “dumb, stupid animals to be used” as pawns for foreign policy.
So, with all that we know & have come to believe that is wrong and truly destructive for our country and can affect the whole world in a truly destructive way should we go down, what have you done to protect yourselves and neighbors. When a squad comes to your homes for weapons collections or arrest for not turning them in, or for whatever other reason, are you organized enough to put up a strong defense? Will you be there for your neighbor? Will he be there for you? What are you prepared to do?
This is not about protecting and defending yourself — this is about giving millions of our tax dollars to foreign countries that hate america. Focus and stay on topic, instead of drifting aimlessly to other topics!
I have wondered this very thing for a great many years. I even made the suggestion that instead of money, give them the farm equipment to grow their own food, and show them how to use it. Throw in some seed and call it good. Giving away money doesn’t solve anything, it never has and nver will. On the other hand, the government can show us pictures of poor farmers and their ox drawn plow out in the fields with an unused aging tractor in the background. So, you can lead a horse to water, if it wants to drink it will. I say we keep our money at home, and take care of America first. Reinstate social security as it was intended to be. Completely revamp wellfare and use it for what it was designed for, that’s help the person that needs help, not feed the lazy and constantly pregnet. Boy, I could go on and on about this. However: we ned to take care of America first! And then we need to take care of americans. End of story…
I came uld not agree more.
Its time for the citizens to regulate some of the categories of expenditures as well as who they put in office if the government is unwilling to stop handing our tax dollars away for nonsensical things. The 1040 form could be revised to include categories that voting could directly affect such as 1.) “Fund for foreign aid allotment …. “Overall figure” and “By country%” 2.) “Fund for elected official wage and benefits package” ….. “Overall figure” and ” Increase allowance by position” 3. “Any other category” the public feels waste is occurring in. “By category” and then be held accountable to those numbers. Its our money. We pay a bunch of jokers to redistribute it in our best interest for maintaining a common defense and running essential government services. They do whatever they want with it. Time to pull back the reins a little bit.
At least the overall expenses would be tracked in a way that is made easily apparent to the people making the payments (us)
I would imagine that the amount of money giving to these foreign countries is very minimal when you consider the big picture that the US prints the money, though this foreign investment is a gamble it could overall create true allies and present war and destruction. This foreign aid may also be a way to return the favor for these counties help and support and/or resources. The militaria will probably invest in building military bases around these countries borders. I would hate to believe that our government is against it’s own people. The government has been making some drastic changes, since the Patriot Act was established, which is very intruding to the privacy of it’s citizens. The gov. is planning on disarming the militia in order to gain complete control over the citizens. This is similar to what happened in Germany when the NAZI socialist party took over. I would imagine that the politicians in office right now are old, tired, dillusional, frustrated, hopeless, greedy, careless, and are simply looking out for themselves instead of representing all of the citizens of USA. They most likely are trying to destroy the US dollar and move over seas and will evently announce war on the US. They are simply elite terroists in disguise to me! It’s time for a true Global Democracy to be established! The people can simply represent themselves. That is a Democracy! Isnt it?
The United States was never intended to be a democracy — it was designed as a republic. Know what the words mean before you use them. Only a very narrow view would consider 500 million or 1.5 billion dollars to be “very minimal” and we are not just referring to money sent to just one country. Add up all of these amounts to all America-hating countries. You suggest that this aid could create allies — Are there any examples in the history of the United States to support this as a successful approach? I can’t think of any countries that were converted into allies by just sending boatloads of money.
You are right .
You have to remember ,our government does not give a crap about us, they only care about themselves, all we are good for is the constant flow of money. When the philipines got hit ,within one week we gave them $10 million dollars . When a town in illinois got hit we gave them nothing they are still waiting for help. The sooner we get rid of the obamanation that running this country into the ground, or gives it away for his own gane . We would be better of. Charaty should begin at home, not all over the world.
If you would make that logo “Bankrupt the USA, Yes we can!” into a bumper sticker, I’d buy it.
It makes me sick to my stomach! Saudi Arabia has bought off our news media and our schools and universities on all levels. They are changing history, and writing it into actual text books. Parents will be forced to home school, if they want their children to learn the truth. All of a sudden for me, I see all these Arab professors everywhere challenging students even from largely populated Jewish backgrounds.While Isra’el was being heavily attacked several months back, O was sending rockets and airplane fighters to terrorists while he lied to the Jewish communities and to our school children. I know this as I have children in schools and friends in Isra’el and in high places. Our tax dollars should be helping our own. Our debt is enormous, and he makes it worse.
To Pennyk
You hit the nail on the head and the Arab money came in to the schools a long time ago also the persons they wanted to send to corrupt our system is working,thats what money will do for you and can you believe this ITS OUR MONEY THEY ARE DOING IT WITH.$200 BILLION A MONTH our oil fees,nice A ??
I think this is so horrible, they give money to people that hate us. they give guns to the people that want to kill us.They refuse to close our borders so that the terrorism come and go as they please.
