Obama's foreign aid corrupts absolutely: Donald Hank rips global welfare scheme

Conservatives know that Sen. Barack Obama has recently introduced the Global Poverty Act, which some commentators have said would bankrupt America by giving an additional 0.7 percent of GDP to Third World governments.

That may well be true.

But as in the War on Poverty, we are not debating with people who have any grasp of numbers or even reality. We are dealing with the left, whose goal is to suppress debate over wealth distribution, suggesting that anyone who opposes it is a Nazi.

So forget about whether the bill will break our bank and lead Americans into poverty. They aren't listening. Neither are many "conservatives," many of whose pastors have told them that government-enforced socialist wealth sharing (without calling it that) is Christian.

So it is futile to debate from the standpoint of harming the taxpayer. Neither the far left nor the "Christian" right will hear you.

Instead, the debate over this bill must include a component that was lacking in the debate over the War on Poverty, namely, to address the consequences to the recipients themselves.
