I have not read of a single dollar reduction in foreign aid as a result of sequestering. All items cut were for the express purpose of hurting the American taxpayer/working people the most!
Both Democrats and Republicans Say, "We're broke" and can't help our own.
(Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless, Etc.). I say reevaluate our spending behavior and we won’t be broke!
Over the last several years they have provided direct cash aid to:
Hamas - $351 M,
Libya $1.45 B,
Egypt - $397 M,
Mexico - $622 M,
Russia - $380 M,
Haiti - $1.4 B,
Jordan - $463 M,
Kenya - $816 M,
Sudan - $870 M,
Nigeria - $456 M,
Uganda - $451 M,
Congo - $359 M,
Ethiopia - $981 M,
Pakistan - $2 B,
South Africa - $566 M,
Senegal - $698 M,
Mozambique - $404 M,
Zambia - $331 M,
Kazakhstan - $304 M,
Iraq - $1.08 B,
Tanzania - $554 M,
..with literally Billions of Dollars and they still hate us!!!!
On the other hand,
Our retired seniors, living on a 'fixed income,' Receive NO aid! Nor do they get any breaks, while our government and religious organizations will pour Hundreds of Billions Of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries! Someone needs to explain to them that Charity begins AT HOME!!!
Another atrocity:
We have Hundreds of adoptable American Children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of Foreign orphans.
AMERICA, a country where we have countless homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going hungry and without needed medication, the mentally ill without treatment, etc.
YET, they will have a 'Benefit' show For the people of Haiti , on 12 TV Stations,ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies. etc. Just Imagine if Our own “GOVERNMENT” gave 'US' the same support they give to foreign countries.
Sad, isn't it? Yet we keep electing the same type of do nothing “politicians” to represent us and send them to Washington to keep doing the same thing. I say again “Ignorance and apathy are killing our country”.
