$300 mil for Syrian terrorists?
So it's possible for Congress or the President to claim to cut foreign aid, yet actually increase it under "defense spending."
“$15 mil AIDS in Africa”
“Africa has been receiving US funding for AIDS through the PEPFAR program since 2003, totaling over $110 billion over the years. The funding has not been a constant $15 million annually but has varied over time, with recent annual funding levels around $6.5 billion.”
Slush fund for corrupt African dictators who let American companies mine their minerals for profit, which goes back into the following years budget.
Massie says it adds up to 4 billion, nearly half the titak if recissions from the other night loaded into this bill!
And that’s why he voted against it.
The other 2 were MTG and Burchett (TN) ...
House passes Trump’s cuts to foreign aid
The GOP-led House gave final approval to the spending bill just ahead of a Friday midnight deadline otherwise the money under the law must be spent.
Savannah KucharSavannah Kuchar, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump’s push for $9 billion in spending cuts − slicing into public broadcasting stations PBS and NPR, as well as the United States’ foreign aid efforts − crossed the Congressional finish line just after midnight on July 18 and soon will hit the Republican’s desk for signature into law.
The House approved the measure, in response to Trump’s official request, in a 216-213 party line vote. Two Republicans voted no on the second-term president’s plan, which represents just a fraction of the almost $200 billion that Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency claims to have saved the federal government.
A bulk of the cuts in the legislation strips away funding authorized by a previous law for foreign aid, including peacekeeping efforts and global health initiatives.
The cutoff did not include Israel’s annual $4 billion tax dollars.
half the total of recessions the other night* I mean
I found that staggering
Yes Liz he pointed this out in the thread
It looks like they put most of it back in 🤔
Kuwait gets 350 million!
One of the richest states in that region?
I’d love to know the logic behind that one.
How many terms has he been in congress?
I suspect he could have found much the same the minute he took office.
I’m not questioning his findings.
I’m just questioning his motives.
Which is the same as questioning his character.
Which I don’t need to question as I already answered his character question a long time ago.
He is your typical conniving politician who only serves the common interest when it serves his self-interest.
We are a piggybank and they don’t want it to stop.
“I’d love to know the logic behind that one.”
It brings the richest and hippest from Abu Dabi and surrounding cities to Dubai to party, in exchange for oil price stability.
It’s worth $450 million if the US doesn’t lose more than $450 million in the markets.
“$1.2 Billion in Foreign Security”
CIA off the book funding.
“So it’s possible for Congress or the President to claim to cut foreign aid, yet actually increase it under “defense spending.””
Move the line item. I think you need a congressional vote on that one.
Again with the African degenerates. Why can’t Africans pay for their perverts with all their gold and diamonds.
Will it pass the Senate?
How much of this is in military purchases vs. cash support?
TOTAL===$375 BILLION
