Obama wants to help Indonesians get advanced degrees from the United States. The problem? He will use your taxpayer money to do it.

This story was broken last month by TradeAidMonitor.com but the Statement of Work (SOW) is published on FBO.gov.

Here is a PRINT+Screen of the first paragraph.


Indonesian nationals will benefit from this proposal because they get free education! US educational institutions will benefit because they get a new flurry of funds. But how does the average Joe taxpayer benefit from this?

And to add further insult, these Indonesian citizens with Masters degrees will compete for the same jobs as Americans and have the potential to stay in this country after gaining employment. Would it be a stretch to say this proposal could wind up taking jobs away from the American people?
