JUST IN: Trump writes, “From this point forward, are you listening U.S. Senate? No money in the form of foreign aid should be given to any country unless it is done as a loan, not just a giveaway.
“It can be loaned on extraordinarily good terms, like no interest and an unlimited life, but a loan nevertheless.
“The deal should be contingent that the U.S. is helping you, as a nation, but if the country we are helping ever turns against us, or strikes it rich sometime in the future, the loan will be paid off and the money returned to the United States.
“We should never give money anymore without the hope of a payback, or without "strings" attached. The United States of America should be "stupid" no longer!”

I’ve said for over two decades, one way to clean up the US is for the government to never, EVER give money to ANYONE for free. Period. Yeah, that includes welfare, snap, medicaid, etc.
It doesn’t include Medicare, SS and Unemployment. People actually pay for those things.
Change my mind....
Israel does not need the money. Its our military complex that wishes the money to be spent on their weapons.
I have often wondered why money is always just given to these countries with no strings attached. I understand China loans but redeems - with natural resourses or other valuable.

Oh, the deep state ain’t gonna’ like that.
It sounds a little hokey to today's ears but the words are still relevant and nothing has changed. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has ever come to the aid or even given a dime to the United States of America.
In which case, Israel and any other recipient nation should pay cash or sign a loan agreement.
Trump makes too much sense, we can’t have that.
Mike Lee doing a good old fashioned filibuster I dont know how long he intends to stay there...

God bless, Senator Lee and please give him strength.
From this point, MONEY should only be approved for our own borders and national defense.
The hell with propping up Ukraine or meddling in the Middle East mayhem!!!
No thanks.
No more than I listen to th lockdown big pharma former prez who stood with fauci and gave us mail in ballots. No more than the prez who gave the lbs a bumpstock ban while the NRA stood silently by.
BLM urned cities and you said we couldn’t travel.
Not that I know but it did occur to me that maybe the ‘strings’ are not visible.
You forgot another 300 trillion for unfunded liabilities
Lee and a few more Republican senators ought to start reading the affordable Care act. That should take a few months
Didn’t forget. It’s on my ‘to do’ list...
Theres nothing to stop the welfare recipients from working a few hours a day...
Part of the benefits could be free childcare while they work...
They dont need schooling to do dishes or clean offices or do manual labor...
(or pick crops)
Yes. On welfare. You have to get up and do what?, ten hours of community service labor a week. Don’t like it? Get a job. How many times at 5:30 am did I not want to get up? About 10 thousand. But I did.
