Watch as Bush gleefully sign this bill.

[Digger]

It's the "Two-Party Cartel" doing the deeds of the elites with the profits to them & the corrupt pols & YOU paying the tab. So keep voting this cartel back in & get EXACTLY the same results.

There are only two ways to keep other nations from being an effective enemy. We can conquer them, buy them, or ignore them until the get a group big enough to defeat and conquer us.

The world is quickly forming into three groups. They are old Europe, China and its allies and the United states and our allies. The remainder,the socalled non aligned nations, will be the 4th would.

People who want us to withdraw from the world, are much like the isolationists of 80 years ago. They did not see Hitler and Japan coming until it was almost too late to defeat them. As it was WWII cost 50 million lives.

We almost lost WWII because the isolationists thought the oceans would protect us. They did not.

We have a couple of new generations who can't wait to stop paying the price of world leatership. They are into world followship. If that is your veiw, and you prevail, you had best learn to speak Chinese and get cosmetic surgery to make your eyes look Asian.

Unless of course you think being a chinese owned slavy would be fun.

Can any of the Democrats or Republicans in Congress or President Bush who will sign this bill tell me where specifically in the Constitution it authorizes Congress to allocate funds to give away to foreign governments?

[Consort]

Part of the hidden intelligence budget?

[grapeape]

Reading this has just given me the biggest headache. This should be a major campaign issue. We must stop the speanding now!!

[OXENinFLA]

This is crazy.

HEY GOV'T: QUIT SPENDING and maybe taxes can be lowered and less money will be TAKEN from hard working people thus allowing them to depend on the Gov't less and less.

OH WAIT! That makes to much sense and will work, so it can't be done.

We must keep on with the programs that FAIL.

It must be that the reason they FAIL is that the was just not enough money given to the program.

Yeah That's it.

KOREAN PENINSULA ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION

SEC. 555. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be made available for assistance to the Korean Peninsula Energy Organization (KEDO).


I do like this part though.

[joesnuffy]

No sweat it's only paper...Greenie will happily print more...

[Militiaman7]

They have the money to pay for all this overseas crap, but they can't pay me my Military Pension?

What we need is a few real conservative Americans to run against everyone in the house that votes for this.

We need new blood in Congress (House and Senate)

OUT THE DOOR IN 2004

I am not opposed to all foreign aid (just 90% of it). My biggest gripe is when that aid is given as cash payments directly to a foreign government. When, and if, aid is deemed necessary, it should arrive in the form of good--goods purchased from American suppliers.

People starving? Here's some good American grain to tide you over and some American made farm machinery to help you start growing your own. And here's some Peace Corps types to show you how to use it. If country proves incapable of making good use of it, or becomes ungrateful for the help, cut them off till they prove they deserve our help.

The other problem that needs to be addressed, and is readily apparent when you try to read the bill, is that an amendment to the Constitution is needed to prevent bills from being bundled together. As things are now, you have to vote for the bad to get the good, or flush it all. Appropriation (and all other) bills should be limited in scope and be able to stand on their own merits. That and a presidential line-item-veto would solve most of this.
