FOX News – As federal agencies rush to prevent sequester-linked furloughs, the Obama administration continues to spend millions of dollars on foreign aid to the Palestinians — and is asking for even more. This happens even though Congress earlier froze such funding.
- $195.7 million for economic development and humanitarian assistance. Huh?
- $100 million earmarked specifically for narcotics control. What?
- $200 million for direct budget support. Are you effin kidding me?
The kicker in all of this is that Congress said no to this nonsense and froze the administration’s request for funds. But with a total disregard for Congress and the law of the land, this administration just does what it wants.
So imaging you and your wife are struggling to make ends meet. As a matter of fact, you are so in debt that you have to borrow money from your parents and your in-laws. Your in-laws by the way really don’t like you at all and are giving you the money as an investment, don’t be confused, it is a loan not a gift.
You are so badly in debt that you have even asked your credit card companies to raise your credit (debt) limit.
…and then, …ready?
Your wife pays your neighbor’s bills; the neighbors can’t stand you by the way and want you to move out of the neighborhood, and then gives them a bunch of cash so they have some “walking around” money. Of course you told her that you couldn’t afford it and that you had money problems of your own that you can’t handle and even went so far as to forbid her from giving them any money, but she ignored all of that and went ahead and gave it to them anyway. As a matter of fact, she is trying to get together more money so she can give the neighbors another cash gift.
And if that’s not enough, Israel, who is supposed to be our only real ally in that region (but this administration doesn’t seem to feel that way) and who is surrounded by nations that want to wipe them off the face of the earth, told us that they were “strongly opposed” to the financial aid by us. So what… Seems to be the administration’s view on Israel’s position.
Everything is upside down and backwards. How did we get here?
Ignoring Allies, Ignoring Reality
What makes it worse is that Israel, one of America’s closest allies, has strongly opposed this aid. Surrounded by hostile neighbors, Israel views this funding as dangerous. Yet the administration seems to dismiss their concerns entirely.
Everything feels backward. With growing debt, political divide, and questionable spending priorities, one can’t help but wonder: How did we get here?
