$30 Million Taxpayer Dollars Spent on Pakistani Mango Farmers - LOL

[tooAlive]

And people still say we don't need to cut back on spending?

Congressman Tom Reed is spotlighting $30 million spent to help Pakistani Mango farmers as his latest example of egregious and wasteful government spending.

“This is ridiculous,” Reed said. “While domestic fruit farmers struggle to get by, we aid Pakistani farmers?” The $30 million is part of a $90 million program funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

I say we stop all foriegn aid.

That's a start. We have more important things to worry about right here at home.

Like the middle and lower class, for example.

We're sending billions to Asia to support their Green industry, so why not send tens of millions to Pakistan for their Farming industry.
