Shocking, isn't it? Is your blood boiling yet? Well, it gets worse, read on!!!
US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US ForeignAid.
Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
These countries alone add up to $2 billion, 343 Million, 234 thousand dollars.
Perhaps it is time to get out of the United Nations and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes.
Pass it along. Everyone needs to know this. Might even mention it to your congressman, who knows it anyway...what a ace!!!!!...no wonder the world has no respect for us!
Now you know how to balance our budget and never have a deficit again.
Just withdraw our "give aways" from all these ungrateful countries and take care of our children, veterans and the poor, plus all the hardworking taxpaying people in our own country.....or at least put them FIRST before others.
Matt's Chat
I've never checked any of these numbers (I've seen this
many times before) but have always thought that they sounded about right. I've never really understood why we invest so heavily in foreign aid, it doesn't seem to "buy" us anything...in fact, it looks like socialist redistribution of wealth to me. Anybody out there got any other thoughts?
