No doubt about it. The Fedgov is engaged in highway robbery, and we're the poor suckers getting shafted. Might as well flush that $15 billion down the camode, because it's not going to do anyone any good over there. ....unless, of course, you happen to be a dictator with deep pockets.

The present administration's answer to the "I feel your pain" former administration. Actually, they both give me a "pain".

I share your minarchist sentiments, but lets be fair. This program is the least of our worries when we are ready to fight perhaps multiple wars to bring 'democracy' to Middle Eastern states that have no tradition of democracy or individual freedoms.

Which is more absurd?

I think rather than fight along the traditional 'accountants for the welfare state' tact conservatives traditionally choose when fighting a new welfare program, we should concede that we will lose that fight. A better tact, perhaps, would be to argue that Conservatives should support this expenditure, if it's tied to ending tax payer funded migrations of Somalians into the United States.

Sure its a small victory, but when battling Leviathan, it's about the best we can hope for.
