You are right on target about the waste at the Education Dept., stupidity and gullibility of the average citizen, and the Florida hurricane tie-in to this tsunami disaster.
I am a Floridian also. The nation should be in revolt over the fact Floridians are offered 30 year SBA loans at 3.18%, but foreign corrupt governments will get cash with no accountability attached.
This is beyond outrageous. But as we see, most Americans are happy sheep going to slaughter.
Pass those two links along--they are good articles.
"Who are you kidding? Yourself??? NO ONE would send a dime to America no matter how desperate we got."
...and you know this how?
People are not universally evil just because they live outside the US and those who live in the US are not suddenly transformed into saints because of where they live. There are good and bad people where ever you go.
We have more money in this country so Americans can afford to help more, but if Americans were starving and incapable of helping ourselves, others would help us. They wouldn't all suddenly turn into monsters.
Just be thankful we haven't needed any help up till now.
Thanks for posting the link! Now maybe people will stop rolling their eyes at me when I say there was plenty of time to warn people...
Thanks for posting the link!
