That sounds pretty good unless you happen to be interested in factual information. The fact is that if we completely cut all foreign aid spending to zero it would not make a drop in the bucket in terms of helping fix social security, nor would it pay the costs of the Iraqi war. It would, however, reduce our exports (because a good deal of our foreign aid is in the form of payment assistance conditioned upon purchase of goods that we export) which would help eliminate some of those American manufacturing and farming jobs that help keep our economy going.
The idea behind the email sounds nice, but it is really based in ignorance and would be a recipe for driving our economy into recession.
Not really.. don’t even know where to start w/ the problems w/ this... It is one of those things that sound good on the surface, but has so many facts wrong it isn’t even a good parody.
Exactly.
yeah, isolationism is great but the ‘President’ reading this would have to be Pat Buchanan. And that would mean the rest of the country was already frakked in order for him to get into office.
Hopefully, I will have passed away by then. Cuz the sight of it would likely kill me.
And since we get most of our oil from Canada and Mexico I think we don’t want to make them too mad at us.
George Bush has redeemed the word xenophobia..
Thats exactly what America needs is some good old fashioned Xenophobia.,.
Bush, being a Globalist, is working for the exact opposite..
