Give it away, give it away, give it away now

Why o why are we so broke and our govt continues to give our hard earned money to foreign countries??? Did you know Obama gave 900 million to the Palestinians this year? Why should THEY get our money?

This isn't just a thread, it's a list.
All monies the govt is giving away are printed in GREEN.
Feel free to use it for a reference. Tell everyone about the money this country bleeds to anyone and everyone. This madness must stop.

U.S. Humanitarian Aid for Syria Crisis Now Nearly $200 Million

The United States is giving an additional $30 million to help aid those affected by the Syria crisis, the State Department announced today. This means total U.S. assistance to help with this crisis is now nearly $200 million.

"Today Secretary Clinton announced that the United States is providing $30 million in additional humanitarian assistance to help those affected by the conflict in Syria," the State Department spokesman says in a statement.

Call your congressman and senators and bitch about these giveaways. Do it. Make an effort. We need to put a stop to this. WE. ARE. BROKE.

We CAN have a say in this is we choose to raise hell about it and keep raising hell about it. Who cares? I sure do; we all should. Borrowing from China, printing fiat money, and giving it away when we're already broke??? Please do whatever you can to help stop this.

That is despicable. What part of "charity begins at home" do the government idiots not understand? We have children dying of starvation in AMERICA because their families are destitute. I certainly will call my congressman (but I'm not sure sometimes if the state goons even have opposable thumbs in this stupid state, never mind understand what I might be talking about).

You need to amend your topic title to read, "PRINT IT And Give It Away."

[Irishman]

Don't we also have to pay interest on all that money?

[Mainecoons]

Yup, but Bernake drove those interest rates to almost zero to cover this--until he can't anymore and then the interest will eat the Federal budget.

In the mean time, small savers and retired people are screwed. By the Democrats, the "Party of the little guy."

Sure.

Of course. His freezing it at zero...has everything to do with China, EU...and a host of other nations being furious with the US.
