Bush needs to start showing his compassion to the American Taxpayer and instruct the IRS to send vaseline with the tax forms.

I'm thinking he needs to start urinating into a paper cup,like every other feral employee who starts doing bizarre things. I'd REALLY hate to think that somebody who wasn't on drugs would act this way.

Where the hell is all this money coming from?

Well, it's not going to come from tariffs,
so Mr. Read-My-Lips Junior must have some kind of plan to take it outa the hide of ordinary taxpayers.
Those darn globalists just ain't gonna be happy until the average American slides into Third World poverty.

Why don't we make Mexico...I don't believe in foreign aid, period. But I would rather have it go to our friends and not our enemies.

If we used emotions for what the USA does we'd have 500,000 troops in Africa protecting the christians getting slaughtered there !

Wrong! Let Israel defend Israel. America needs to butt-out. If we don't butt-out, we will end up putting our troops in there for "peace keeping". Our troops will be slaughtered and will be taken away from defending American.

Watching whining weasels waffle!

Wrong.

Comparing military aid for Israel and worldwide socialism does not work.

I don't agree with the feds being involved in our education system, why would I support them being involved in educating Africa?

LOL, you're the best!

I'm really disgusted with Bush. He's not even a mediocre communicator. Otherwise, he would have blasted the African situation as the results of crooked and evil leadership.

Bush has turned out to be a political animal, triangulating himself into nothingness. Of all the glaringly obvious problems the U.S. has, immigration and islamic tollerance are main concerns of conservatives with IQ's above 60. Too bad the polling data can't sniff out a disaster waiting to happen.

I asked you first, since you're the one with the basic question.

About *any* aid, domestic or foreign, I'm for judicious spending, not giveaway programs or to those who pilfer, or otherwise waste our hard-earned dollars. And, I detest pandering, and much of what is being spent now is nothing more than pandering, begging for votes he won't get anyway.

The deficit is growing daily, and IMO the first and only money for deficit spending is for our military and defense of the country; does not include another Cabinet position.

Thank you both for your responses.

ST, I am neither a judge nor a policy maker, but IMHO the basis of foreign aid is found in "General Welfare" and "Common Defense".

Registerd, Stratgic Interest is the correct answer. Now we all know that the pre 911 Bush was not going to increase foreign aid. In fact, he didn't announced his policy change until this spring, with a lot of prodding by Congress.

It is in the stratigic interest of the US to prevent Islam from penetrating further into Africa.

Sounds good to me. I believe I'm becoming psychic; I'm seeing a tax cut in the near future. Well, maybe not, easy to do the math and come up with the same conclusion.

C'mon, Ben, you can do better than that. If you believe we can stop that, I'll have another good deal for you. Geez, remember Somalia, and remember that Aidid's son, who was in the US Army, went back to replace the SOB, and hates the US with a passion; they'll take our money, then slaughter us again.
