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