WASHINGTON (AFP)--The United States will consider providing $1 billion in emergency aid to Georgia, a top U.S. lawmaker said Monday on his return from a visit to the conflict-torn nation.

Well, if we do send this much in aid, I hope the Russkies don’t get their paws on it.
A good part of it better be military, including our own active defense...or you may well just be giving it to the Russians.
I hope the Atlanta PD is ready to handle the riots that will start when people down there realize this money is meant for white people on the other side of the planet.
I’m pretty sure that it would be cheaper to move all of the Georgians to... well, Georgia?
I don’t wanna gripe, but the Feds keep saying that they can’t renovate Interstate 94 from Detroit to Chicago because the government doesn’t have the money. Just saying.
That would be ok if the european pansies also ponied up.
If the $1B comes out of dhimmicratic coffers or aid from any other worthless countries that we already dump our money into, I’m for it.
How does sending our money get them out?
what does an oil refinery cost?
how many billions did we just send to africa ‘for aids’ (answer: 48)
what the hell we always got plenty. we can always raise the gas tax.
They would be better off taking the $150 Billion they want to give to Africa and send it to Georgia. I’d like to know where our government is getting all this money they give away. We need to stop the borrowing from other countries.
Good Old DEMOCRAT JOE BIDEN never saw a BILLION of American taxpayer dollars he didn’t want to give away.
And this is the guy Obama may pick for VP?
There is a reason Biden’s nickname in Washington circles is Joe Hindsight. Joe Biden never has an opinion on anything until weeks pass and the dust settles; then he comes up with his “if people had listened to me blah blah blah blather”.
Good luck Obama if you pick Joe Hindsight for your VP!
Why are you fearful of borrowing from other nations? All it represents is them buying treasury notes at auction for a rate lower than the next higher bidder. Obviously nations like CHINA would rather invest in American treasury notes than risk spending their money improving the lives of their own people. The many billions of treasury notes China holds is leverage we have on them and they don’t have on us. The notes are not callable and can only be resold on the secondary market. If they stopped buying notes tomorrow someone else would buy our debt at a slightly higher rate. People that worry about foreigners holding our debt keep whining about “what if they demand payment, blah blah blah....” are you one of those uninformed?
Yea, well Joe when you come up with the billion, you be sure and let us know...
gezzzzzzzzzzzzz...don’t ya just love the way these clowns throw OUR money around!
Relax, they’ll print more.
Who was it? Was it Goldwater who said “A billion here. A billion there. Pretty soon you’re talking real money!”
This is like me borrowing money that I then give to charity. At least this seems a cause more related to our interests than the Global Poverty Act where we will be throwing money we don’t have at Africa.
I think Biden has his head in the clouds...as usual.
