Welcome to Washington.

The “foreign aid scam” has gone on in DC for decades. Its the basic form for becoming a congrescritter or senator and winding up with a 100-200 million dollar fortune-”on a congresscritters 175K a year salary”-or even more.

The essence of it is Congress granting “foreign aid” to a country; the recipient country’s leaders take “their cut” when it arrives (more often than not that turns out to be the whole ammount!!) and then pass along the DC fraction to overseas banks.... A congressional junket (a group of congresscritters) sometimes has to travel to that part of the world to direct the local banks appropriately as to what to do with their cut. More often than not tho anymore, the locals have learned exactly what they need to do for the DC crowd to keep the motor running.

All that money eventually does come back to the USA in their bank accounts. Its how in the last 20 years DC has moved from 84rth or so in the nation per capita income to number one.

That process has become the driving force of the entire Fed.gov during that time. Unfortunately parts of the US military have been sucked into the same cycle

Trump is in the process of breaking up that game.

SO TRUMP IS A HERO FOR TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT!!

The masses will go CRAZY when this is fully exposed that our “foreign aid” dollars COME RIGHT THE ### BACK to bank accounts of our elected leaders.

He’ll win with 56 percent of the vote or more
