It’s American’s Money
Dear Editor,
Consider the following:
Based on population, here is the money “per person” our Congress gave to citizens of other countries:
Israel: $56,321
Sudan: $16,746
Egypt: $13,209
Ukraine: $10,791
Cambodia: $5,262
Nepal: $4,638
Burma: $2,513
USA: $600
Additionally, they gave a boatload of money to Pakistan, the same country that harbored Osama Bin Laden, the same country that is releasing the people that executed journalist Daniel Pearl by cutting off his head while broadcasting it on the internet.
These same politicians, D and R, along with their sycophants and toadies, are still getting a paycheck, would rather play power games, are wringing their hands and crying about how if they give legal Americancitizens $2,000 it will destroy the budget and create a huge deficit – whining they don’t have the money.
Do they honestly think people can’t figure out that if you don’t give our money away to foreign countries there would be enough to help legal American citizens? If so, they are blatantly laughing in our face. Yet the sheeple of this country sit in front of their screens and whine to each other about it rather than trying to organize and confront these bottom feeding parasites and their flying monkeys.
What can we do? How’s this for a starting point:
“…That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
I can hear them now, “there see, he wants to overthrow the government!” He’s a dangerous radical, misogynist, racist!” (I added the ‘its stuff because I know it’s coming even though it has nothing to do with the matter at hand.) And those of you who buy those meadow muffins, look at the founding documents of this country.
You want a real example of just how pathetic the local and federal government is about providing assistance, look at the private, I emphasize the word private, organization Barstool, which has collected donations from private citizens and companies and used them to help small businesses stay afloat.
To quote the great President Ronald Reagan: “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
Go Galt,
Alan Marshall
Sounds great. I know a few folks who would join a local group. Give me a holler if you want to organize something. pdbradley81@mail.com
Alan,
Sorry but you are doing what you appear to dislike:. Bundling issues.
Yes, $600 is a pittance. You are wrong, however, in your classifications.
I won’t waste my time or yours explaining to you details or break things down for you. If you spend the appropriate amount of time doing your homework, before making such sweeping comments, you might discover how flawed your statements are.
Facts do matter. Re- labeling to suit your personal views create facts that are misleading, thus they are no longer facts. Basically false, untrue, designed to mislead.
Therefore, your argument amounts to nothing more than a rant. If you are trying to make a point, I strongly suggest taking the proper time to acquire real and honest information. This will, at very least, prevent you from appearing ignorant to people who actually know better.
You’re hilarious Billy,
You say Allen’s wrong, you state his logic is flawed, you say that facts do matter but you don’t want to “waste our time” in explaining said facts.
Well… aren’t you just a hypocrite! At the very least, please look inward so as to “prevent yourself from appearing ignorant to people who actually know better” and try getting off your high horse every once and awhile
Your point is well-taken.
Have to take exception to your statistics. Big Brother hands out mucho dinero to our citizens. Those on the dole are staggering. The money that went to Israel did not go to their citizens; we are helping them survive in a sea of hostility. Those in the Sudan would be middle class @$16M/year, they would be lucky to see a dime of it.
I am under no illusion that any of the people of those countries got anything. The point is that these parasitic politicians have no problem handing out huge sums of OUR money to other countries while small business and their employees are going under here.
I equate their whining about how giving $2000 to legal Americans would destroy the budget (what budget?) and blow up the deficit while making sure their foreign interests are taken care of with OUR tax money to urinating on our heads and telling us it’s raining.
It’s bad enough that they, without a care, take OUR money WE actually WORK for at gunpoint, under threat of imprisonment, just to give it away to illegal aliens in this country and domestic parasites who game the system.
If everything that has happen in regards to this and the blatant disregard for the foundation of our system of government doesn’t finally get people motivated to drain the swamp on their own then our country is on it’s final rotation on the way down the drain.

Good letter Alan.
Wonder if the Kennedy for Performing Arts got another 25 million? If there was ever a need for limiting the time in office for both the House and Senate, this is a good example. The President is limited to 2 four-year terms, so why not the senators and representatives? Six terms in the House and 2 terms in the Senate, and that is cumulative so they can’t serve more than 12 years altogether.
Too many people make holding an office their way of life. All it does is allow the office holders to propose legislation that benefits them and their minions that vote for them in office.
Professional Politician is the ultimate oxymoron.

In the past I’ve never been a fan of term limits but the last 10 years or so have made me reconsider.
Thanks Alan Marshall
I don’t see a thing wrong with our senators and representatives generously giving billions of dollars to help the poor people in other countries, as long as they do it out of their own pockets. Well, actually, I do, since the money will never reach the poor who need it, but will only further enrich the despots who control those countries and enslave their people.
A great place to begin analogy to those less informed and now scared of the unveiling reality of how the pig in the python of government actually is. I understand the minutia of how those figures are arrived at is “only a place to consider drilling down”. However, most Americans literally are illiterate of so very much as to why their condition due to government is what it is. As to history repeating itself, apathy brings that to the fore. Here we go; and yes a consensus will be needed by groups to bring about the changes of issues, as in all of human history.
By law, 75% of the money ‘given’ to Israel MUST be spent in the US on US companies employing US workers. That number is supposed to climb to 100% by 2022.
