The following is an excerpt from an essay by Bill Walker. Does anyone else find this insane?

On December 16 President Obama signed the omnibus appropriations bill. It included H.R. 3081, a doubling of foreign aid from pre-Obama times, to 48.764 billion dollars. By comparison official US foreign aid in 2006 totaled less than 23 billion dollars.

This is all money which the US has to borrow from foreign taxpayers, as the US is 12.1 trillion in debt (not counting Social Security, Medicare, or prescription drug benefit obligations. Those are estimated by the head of the Dallas tentacle of the Federal Reserve to put the real total debt over 100 trillion. )

The entire essay can be found here.

I am so sick of the government giving our money away, as well as spending it like water.

It is time to cut off all foreign aid along with trimming our government back to what the Constitution says it should be. This government health care as well as many other programs aren't even Constitutional, let alone fair to those who work and pay taxes.

OUR representatives slipped this little provision into a bill and no one in the MSM felt is was worth mentioning. Who do our representatives really represent!!?
