'rebuild cairo sewer systems' '70 million'




Egypt 1,000,000 sq mi., per capita GDP 6,200

population 82,000,000



Israel 'support' 2.5 BILLION

Israel 20,000 sq mi. , per capita GDP 29,800

population 7.5 million



why does the former not get me all heated? possibly because we have consistently done the latter.......

We can't afford to run things here without borrowing more. Obama is such a dickweed! Sorry but if Egypt wants to be self determinate then they need to be self supportive! Why should we spend any money on them?

We need to cut foreign aid for everyone until America gets solvent again.

Why is a country (USA) on the brink of bankruptcy, giving out money to other countries? Doesn't it make more sense to fix your own problems, before fixing the problems of your neighbors? slaphead

this, I could partly agree with except that its called 'aid' for a reason,, its usually needed

and I think other governments come to our 'aid' too often for us to just cut off everyone cold turkey,,,

because foreign aid is already a part of the budget

its kind of like having a car payment, its already there as a regular 'bill'



sometimes people have to get rid of their car though, and maybe sometimes we have to cut foreign aid


I think its a very difficult decision because of what was posted above...

politics... the politicians are getting kickbacks and bribes, payments to make these decisions, and just screwing the people in the process...they get rich while the country goes to hell...

could you go a little deeper into that? what "aid" has other countries given us? i think mexico supplied some troops during katrina...canada might have helped us a little....
