    They know it’s funny money, so let’s give it away. Gotta keep the jackboot on the average Joe’s neck, but throw some crumbs at him, so’s he don’t start cryin “I Caint Breeve!” in public and embarrass our dumb asses whilst we slop at the trough.
     
    There’s a reason foreign governments park their lobbyists in DC as permanent fixtures since the 1970s at least.

    The Congress is being told that if they don’t pilfer the US foreign aid programs some more, these other nations will collapse, so we have to prop them up for world peace. It’s been that way for a long time.

    We even propped up the Soviet Union with so many foreign aid packages throughout the years, but this was never reported to the public.

    Most have not heard of Nunn-Lugar either, especially Russians who were supposed to benefit from it. After the Soviet collapse, we paid $400 million per year to prop up Russian pensions, salaries of high skilled workers, etc. At least that’s where the money was supposed to go.

    Mention it to Russians and they have no idea what you’re talking about. Neither do Americans, including the vast majority of Congress.

    so much to the navy, maybe they are off our coast for gas money, and not operations.
     
    For those who did not catch it. This foreign aid is exactly where our congress critters have been scamming us. This is where their kickbacks and grossly overpaid jobs for family members that they then skim money from are originating. The worst of it is our country/we would be immensely better off if they just straight up stole their millions directly from the treasury. This way we are paying 10-20 times the amount they are giving away for them to steal that fraction back via corruption. Hunter Biden's laptop is nuclear waste. Joe will resign after inauguration or Hunter will
    be Epstein-ed by the powers in the swamp IMHO.
     
    Yeah, let me know when you guys get past the sitting on ass, bitching on computer stage and ready to go stand in the cold and handle shit the way our opposition does and I'll join you.

    Because apparently getting in the way and just saying "fuck no, not gonna comply anyomre" actually works, and works well.
     
    You know you guys are getting pissed off about 0.17% of the Fed taxes collected earmarked Aide/Art, right? Those pics above are a total of $6.09 Billion. $6 billion out of $3.5 Trillion in US tax revenue. All that aide/funding mentioned above is about $18 per US citizen. Everyone's going to take to the streets over $18? I believe there are better things to focus your outrage on today.

    Just some perspective, people.

    Graft. They get kickbacks on every dollar. How do you be in Govt. service and become a millionaire or more...Congress the only way.

    The fact that ANY of our money is going to other countries with out goods/services returned in exchange should piss off every American.

    fuck other countries. Everyone already hates us, we need to stop giving them free shit.

    Tell the businesses that have died this year by forced closure they are not taking it in the proper perspective.

    A perspective here, a perspective there......pretty soon you are talking about a lot of perspective.
     
    Ok Hic28, stop worrying about the foreigners and 0.174% of your money. Apply your Home Depot appliance to the Domestic assholes fucking you out of the other 99.826% of your money.

    If the rest of you want to be angry over things you can't control, then carry on. I'm out.

    Ya, BUT, not every US citizen pays taxes. So for those of us who actually work and pay the tax man, that amount is not $18. Not only that, we seem to not have much of a say about how our taxes are spent as those who have no dog in the fight, due to a lack of intelligence and motivation, seem to keep voting idiots into office who obviously have not a clue how to use the tax money they take in wisely.

    No, the US government is buying corn, rice, wheat and other goods from American farmers and busineses and sending them to other countries as part of foreign aid. In return, we get a ally, we get to help ward off starvation, and we possibly get a say in their local politics.

    Like it or not, we are the world's policeman for the time being. We need to have a vision into other countries to have a plan when the next Osama ben Laden arises.
     
    That is the theory, but not how it generally works out. Look it up and you see how that aid enriches local warlord types and allows them yet another avenue to control the poor people under their boot and enslave them. I don't think you'd find much in the line of allies in Haiti, even though the US has provided countless aid there. Or in many other places anywhere I'd wager... If we have had a say in local politics, boy we have f'd it up royally. I'd rather see that money/aid stay in the USA for our country and people first, minus a few natural disasters and ongoing war effort actions.

    Yep, great intentions often don't work out.

    Do you really believe that? Seriously?

    Santa Claus, no. Easter bunny, no. But do I believe that we do more good in the world with our financial aid than bad? Sure.

    let me rephrase what I said earlier. Fuck other countries. We have our own starving here.
    The food we send pales in comparison to the amounts of cash that is sent.

    let’s fix our own country before to start helping others. We’ve created the give a mouse a cookie scenario in exchange for a paper ally who will run at the slightest turmoil.

    fuck being the worlds policeman.
     
    Out government steals money from us in the form of taxes, sends a shitload of it to countries who want to behead everyone in western civilization, opens the gates to every Mexican that wants to come here for free handouts and free medical care, housing, and education for their future welfare recipients while out people lose jobs, homes, and businesses and are dying by the thousands thanks to our inept government while our elected prostitutes try to convince us that they are rolling up their sleeves and working long into the night for the American people, and who, BTW, have not missed a single paycheck since this bullshit started, jumping in line to get the vaccine because they are entitled, then lie to us to get re-elected, and then give out $600 checks for which we are supposed to kiss their royal asses and that won't cover half of the monthly bills for the average family.
    And to pour salt in the wounds, we can figure that a large chuck of the money we are sending to the middle east will find it's way back to the pockets of said elected prostitutes.
    What about Piglosi's daughter who runs th Kenndy Center and received $25M from the first stimulus. Is there anything in this round for her? Do we really need two new Smithsonians when hundreds of thousands of people are dying?

    Where is a good revolution when you need one?

    OK, I think i understand the system now

    While I agree perspective and proportionality is important to keep, I can think of 30k+ homeless US vets that would be better suited for any foreign aid we've earmarked in this bill.
     
    If the US steps out of that role, then the Russians or the Chinese will step into it. The world will look like a very different place when that happens.

    russian and China won’t police. They will conquer and enslave. The world needs a wake up call that we aren’t the biggest pieces of shit out there. Just like children, you need to take away their toys once in a while and make them sit back and think about what they have done.

    That $162,000,000 that was demanded by Iran was actually a flat $160M. The $2M was a handlers fee to be kicked back to Obama and the Left. The Left has a non negotiable, pay-to-play policy.
