Restore the Republic
So we don't want to waste resources and taxpayer dollars going in for a period of time to help establish democracy in other countries, "nation build" as the left calls it. However, we are willing to throw taxpayer dollars to house ... feed ... educate ... give government assistance .. to support the children of other countries for as long as they want to stay here.
If Obama feels we as Americans should be "compassionate" and pick up the mantle of some humanitarian cause, why don't we drop them off at the front door of the White House? I am sure there is plenty of room there to house them. Let's allow this president the opportunity to lead by example for others to follow.
How long is a period of time? 10 years? More? How did that work out in Iraq? We gave them help whether they wanted it or not. Nice.
Look to all the poor that depend on their government to be their resource, over their own hard working efforts to provide for their OWN livelihood, I'm sure it's a lot less than 8 years in Iraq. To put it in another perspective that's 800 Billion taxpayer dollars in 8 years, compared to $820 Billion (as quoted by the CBO) on one stimulus bill. Even worse ... how much MORE has this failed "War On Poverty" cost taxpayers since that program was implemented? Yet we are willing ... even eager ... to take in even more government dependent leeches, on the backs of taxpayers, who aren't even FROM this country!
