American taxpayers still reeling from coronavirus lockdowns will be shelling out billions to foreign countries if Congress passes a $2.3 trillion spending bill unveiled Monday.
The 5,593 page budget-busting bill was posted online Monday afternoon, only hours before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said a vote would be held.
For some countries, Christmas came early:
$169,739,000 to Vietnam, including $19 million to remediate dioxins (page 1476).
Unspecified funds to “continue support for not-for-profit institutions of higher education in Kabul, Afghanistan that are accessible to both women and men in a coeducational environment” (page 1477).
$198,323,000 to Bangladesh, including $23.5 million to support Burmese refugees and $23.3 million for “democracy programs” (page 1485).
$130,265,000 to Nepal for “development and democracy programs” (page 1485).
Pakistan: $15 million for “democracy programs” and $10 million for “gender programs” (page 1486).

this is theft.
Kickbacks for politicians and overseas contracts for their relatives and cronies.
America last and hastening the destruction of the dollar. It’s a twofer for the Democrats. Unless we can regain the ability to vote the rats out of office, our options are few.
90 percent kickbacks to democrats family members.
Sri Lankan Ship Refurbishments must be for K Harris who is 50% Sri Lankan
Leave it to Congress who can’t pass a thing unless some horse trading in waste is added to a bill.
Instead of demanding that no waste get added to a bill, they all just insist on getting their own particular shit in it.
They all scratch each other’s back with their own special shit.
Is there something wrong with trying to get the Pakistanis to stop “honor killings” and female genital mutilation? I would think this money well spent.
This bill is Congress doing two things at once: Flipping the bird at the POTUS while trying to pry his base away from him.
I hope to God were made of sterner stuff.
We are heading for a tragic collapse, the sooner the better.
No, however, funding should not be come from deficit spending. The US has internal issues to confront before any attempt to waste resources while being the world’s police is attempted. Can you even guarantee the funds will even reach their objectives, lol?
Funding is a private sector matter, government is too big and too irresponsible.
Sickening, and we’re supposed to take our elected officials seriously and trust them about things like fair elections? Give me a break.

Why no mention of the $ 500,000,000 to Israel ?
Yes, thank you, if we have learned anything in the last 12 months from the Biden revelations is that 90% of the foreign aid money flows back to the kids and relatives of the politicians as kick backs. And apparently as long as it goes to relatives, and not directly to them, it’s perfectly legal - if not by law, it’s de facto legal - What a country.
Because they are out “ally”...
