Thread: This will get your goat

This ought to upset everybody ….

Below are the actual voting records of eighteen Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.

U S Foreign Aid to four of those countries that hate (or) dislike us:

Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 75% against the United States and receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States and receives $143,699,000 annually.


These four countries alone account for over $2,343,234,000 annually, and are not the only countries from the list that receive foreign aid from the United States. Low estimates of the total foreign aid runs in excess of $140 billion annually. Keep in mind that these are the LOW estimates of aid ... nobody can give a concrete figure.

What makes it very difficult to come up with a concrete figure, is the fact that much of the aid is buried in department budgets other than the State Department’s. Things like some of the military aid (weapons, etc), are buried in the Department of Defense budgets, etc. Some estimates run as high as $400 billion annually … nobody can give an exact figure because of the convoluted budgets in the various departments that contribute to the total.

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes (and buy Middle Eastern gasoline).

Pass this along to every taxpaying citizen you know.

Disgusting isn't it?

Just amazing, especially when you consider the financial condition the United States is in. The illegal immigration problem has created a national crisis in our country, yet our federal government, for the most part, has not assigend the priority standing to the issue that it deserves. If it had, we would be cancelling all financial aid to foreign countries and utilizing the funds to fight the war on illegal immigration. Since when does the needs of other countries surpass that of our own?

The Lord helps those who help themselves. How much longer are we going to allow the handouts and assists while our own land is trod under the foreign foot?

Got that right MW. Why aren't these funds being used to secure our borders? Re-build the Katrina ravaged areas? Get these gas prices back down? A HOST of things. I really had no idea we were supporting or aiding so many other countries. This sickens me. I'd rather see the money feeding the starving people if there was a means to make sure they got it, instead of helping these guys kill us.
