$1.5 Billion In U.S. Aid To Egypt?...

[paulitician]

As the Associated Press reports today, the Obama administration told Congress yesterday that it would “wave democracy requirements to release up to $1.3 billion in aid to Egypt despite concerns that the country is backsliding on commitments it made to democratic governance and the rule of law.” And that’s not all. Thanks to Egypt not going to open war with Israel (even while funneling weapons to the Gaza Strip), they will be the beneficiaries of $200 million in additional taxpayer-funded foreign aid.


What's your thoughts on this? Agree or disagree with this use of Taxpayer Money?

Is this news to you? The US has given aid to Egypt for many years, about the same amount we give to Israel.

It's bad news to me. Time to bring the wasted $Billions back home.

'Wave Democracy requirements?' That doesn't sound good. Or is it just me?

It means support the Muslim Brotherhood...as they will have power in Egypt.

Yeah, it's a real tragedy. As usual, the Taxpayer gets screwed.

And Obama is applauded for damaging foreign relations...

You love em so much, give em your own money. Don't force all Taxpayers to.

It's a great deal, for 35 years. It's time to build a port for Gaza and a tunnel to the West Vank, and a Holy Land Theme park staffed by Norwegians...

And what will the Muslim brotherhood (which WILL ultimately be in charge in Egypt), DO with that money?

Hezbollah? al-Queida?

Obama?

Well like i said, you give em your own money. I have no problem with that. But American Taxpayers should no longer be forced to. That time has now passed.

Looks like most don't agree with this. So when will the People have their say on Foreign Aid? It's time.
