845 Billion?! Please tell me THIS is satire! (Alas! it is NOT) Between Obama and Hillary, I don’t know who is the greater disaster
Yeah, we’ve done so well eliminating poverty from the US, let’s do it for the whole world now. Sheesh.
The Audacity of Insanity.
The plan passed the House in 2007 "because most members didn't realize what was in it," Kincaid reported. "Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require."Vile, filthy, scumbag sponsors.
It has gotten to the point that these assholes have completely forgotten they work for us.
Didn't we fight a rather sizeable war one time because we were being taxed without proper representation?
Ya know, we might have to do that again.
The ONLY people who will benefit from this global aid package for the poor are corrupt country leaders and their delegates to the UN.
Another forum participant said, "Yes, and we should also eliminate sickness of any kind and get rid of poverty as well. Then, too, we should make certain that everyone in the world has equal assets, equal money, a college education, etc… After that, or maybe while we are solving all of the world's little problems, we can take care of the polar bears, eliminate the internal combustion engine, and, and, and… Oh dear, if only we would just go ahead and do all the things the dreamers want us to do. Let's stop using oil and burning coal while we're at it. Then we can make it illegal to be overweight and then we can. ..."That has GOT to be a FReeper :)
$845 Billion!?! GAWP!!!
As we strive to rebuild America’s standing in the world, this important bill will demonstrate our promise and commitment to those in the developing world.

With a logic base like this it makes me wonder of O-Bamma O-Rama even studied a little post WW2 history at Harvard????
When did an influx of American $$$$$ show 3rd world idiots our promise and commitment to anything that they didn’t turn our money around and cram it in our ......
These Democratic socialist idiots believe anything, from Al Gore to the UN, as long as it leaves you with a warm gummy bear feeling in the gut. I wish the GOP had someone running against this left wing crap this year.
One could make the same points about the billions we've spent in Afghanistan and Iraq.
It would have been one thing if we had simply sent our military over there to kill islammofascists, and break their toys, but 'nation-building' while leaving islammunism in place is counterproductive to our interests.
At least US aid to developing countries in Africa and parts of Asia would temporarily buy the loyalties of people there, and perhaps make them more resistant to AQ. Besides, just like the efforts over in Afghanistan and Iraq, the money would go to US companies to provide goods and services, it really would still be shoring up our economy. The question is, do we want to piddle a trillion dollars away on potential friends, or on sworn enemies who have not really been defeated, like the Germans and the Japanese were?
Enough taxation on the American taxpayer to help shove this economy into another depression which will take 10 years or so to recover from.
“You wrote that with a straight face?”
I didn’t have my coffee.
Like that won’t go into the Swiss bank accounts of a hand full of tin pot dictators.
For all the change rhetoric, it sure sounds like the same old tax and spend playbook.
Yep, and Obama wants everyone in the world to have a 60 inch flat screen TV. Its only fair!!!!!!!!!!
Volunteers need not apply, in a socialist/communist society, right commrad
Sounds like a guarantee to increase CO2 omissions.
This program is the main hope and emphasis of the Population Control people, AKA Eugenecists. They wish to reduce earth’s population to 200 million.
No, "Teach a man to fish and he sits in a boat drinking beer all day."
There now, that's a lot closer to the truth.
