$770 Million from State Department for 'Mosque Makeovers'

[Vedubin01]

Absolutely sickening... discuss your thoughts of the US funding these projects overseas while Americans at home are struggling and are on the hook to pay for this?

[cale]

Your country has been pumping billions in aid into the middle east for decades, many times what you're worrying about now simply to arm them...and you're worried now? Keep eating it up...

[joshh]

This was started under the Clinton administration and has been carried on since. I say we stop all foreign aid. I'm sick of all this shit.

That is what I am saying, enough is enough. To single out a certain religion and fund their rebuilds yet in another country is utter bull shit!

[ck_taft325is]

Yeah! Fuck 'em

[mrsleeve]

ANd we will still be hated for it.


If we stop with the aid we will demonized by the rest of the world, we the richest nation stop's helping poor nations and the reaction will be the same as BHO saying rich people need to pay more in taxes even though they are responsible for 90% of taxes paid anyway as it si

[gwb72tii]

and we borrow 46 cents of every dollar we spend
anybody still believe taxing the rich will dent the overspending?

[slammin.e28]

Those poor nations had just as much time on this earth as we have. Those Muslim nations choose to languish in the old days instead of go forth and be productive members of the world population (Kinda like the Christians of old).


They need no funding from us. Seriously, don't worry about the thorn in another's eye when we have a fucking board in ours. (Yeah, I paraphrased that one)

That's be like me taking loans to give to the guy sitting at the stoplight on exit 92 of I64. All he's going to do with it is but booze and cigarettes.

money is fake.

[ColdAccord]

lol at cutting foreign aid. just like campaign donations, we give people money to keep them on our side. cut aid to pakistan and watch how quickly we all get nuked.

[slammin.e28]

Because Pakistan is such a great ally to have and they help us a love us for all the aid we send there.

Foreign aid accounts for 0.1% of Federal Spending. Ya, that'll make a dent in the deficit

.1% is foreign aid which is at least 770 million?


.1%?

Does anyone understand how much money federal spending is, if only .1% is 770 million.

trillions and trillions of dollars. You cant even fathom that much. Like I said money is fucking fake. 1 trillion dollars is not even a real number and the U.S just throws it away like toilet paper lol sit back and think about that much money. It cant be real lol especially if its just thrown away

Federal Spending is around $4T (can't remember exactly off the top of my head). 0.1% of $4T is $4B, which is about the total amount we spend on foreign aid each year.
