$170 million taxpayer dollars on their way overseas...

[Cowlesy]

But what's $170,000,000 between friends, right?

http://rawstory.com/news/afp/US_Congress_approves_Israel_aid_inc_06272008.html

America's pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, welcomed the congressional action, saying it would increase US aid to Israel to 2.55 billion dollars in fiscal year 2009, up from 2.38 billion dollars this year.

"The US commitment to maintaining Israel's qualitative military edge is the cornerstone of American policy in the region," AIPAC said in a statement Friday.

"This year's package holds heightened significance for US security interests, as the US and Israel face new challenges from Iran's drive to acquire nuclear weapons as well as the growing influence of radical anti-western forces to Israel's south in Gaza and to the north in Lebanon."

Am I the only one getting extremely, extremely tired of this?

I met someone today who's response to this was "and just think, they could be spending that money on universal healthcare."

 

[amy31416]

How in Jesus' name are we increasing aid to Israel when we're tanking economically???

I'm disgusted 20x over. Enough of this shit.

 

[Truth Warrior]

Petty cash and merely a rounding error on a $3 TRILLION annual budget.

 

[Cowlesy]

yeah petty cash that could have been used for a lot of good here instead

...not like we're broke or anything.

We all know, 'THE USUAL SUSPECTS' on the Congressional Committee of Foreign Affairs, which are our Problem; Zionists, AIPAC Puppets, Pro-JEW Lobbyist Whores, String Pullers of the Congressional Marionettes, Wealth Dictators.

Remember to VOTE EVERY ONE of the Washington D.C. Lobbyists WHORES on the Foreign Affairs Committee OUT OF OFFICE!

Yeah, Like, "What's a Pallet Full of Vodka to an Alcoholic!"

What's really upsetting, are the poor & some middle class families now, especial the children, in this country, going hungry, being turned away from food banks, second harvest, and/or having to eat JUNK FOOD, etc.

The HYPOCRISY in Washington DC is running at full speed. Glad to see them spending 100's of BILLIONS on; War, Destruction, Death, Control of Countries, Dictators, Pro NEOCON REGIMES...on & on

SICKENING - U.S. Government and the CRIMINALS that run it!

Exactly in his name.

Nope. I'm with you but I'm also sick and tired of being called an anti-semite for even mentioning it.

Just Think... We need our own lobby...

America's Pro-Constitutional lobby, the American Constitutional Public Affairs Committee, welcomed the congressional action, saying it would increase US aid to Campaign For Liberty to 2.55 billion dollars in fiscal year 2009, up from 2.38 billion dollars this year.

"The US commitment to maintaining Ron Paul's qualitative intellectual edge is the cornerstone of American integrity in the world," CFL said in a statement Friday.

"This year's package holds heightened significance for US sovernity interests, as the US faces new challenges from Facism and Corporatism." The US's drive to acquire nuclear weapons and bully the world, adds to the growing resentment of radical western forces.

Great question.

After picking up my jaw from the floor after reading that, I have to wonder what on Earth are these people thinking...

What?

Bush and Cheney?

Tax dollars will be increasingly squandered.

 

[EgwaTlvdatsi]

Hopefully, I'm not being out of line when I say this...But...

Squandered? I don't think that would be the word I'd use...Stolen...I thought my taxes went to the American people...But I guess I should have known better...

 

[The One]

This makes me feel unhappy.

Further down the track...

You are going to be fucking irritated.

A lobby for the US Citizens? Great idea!

Maybe we can get some of our own money.

"The system is corrupt, beyond redemption, and is not worthy of my support!"

But, but, but, it's the only game ( system ) in town.

EXACTLY! And your point is?

Best monologue George Carlin did.

Cowlesy,

I know you are a clever man.

I'm following in your footsteps.

I'm feeling the gold bug about August.
