We corrected the title to $3 Billion instead of $3 Trillion…apologies.
While foreign aid is cut and America’s working classes face austerity, an Israeli paper is reporting that foreign aid to Israel will not be among the cuts:
US House C’ttee saves Israeli aid in foreign aid cut
The US House Foreign Affairs Committee slashed foreign aid for the Palestinians, Egypt, Lebanon, and Yemen.
21 July 11 12:13, Ran Dagoni, Washington
The US House Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday cut the Obama administration’s $51 billion 2012 budget request for the State Department and foreign aid by $6.4 billion, but kept unchanged the $3 billion in military aid for Israel.Commentators say that the committee vote is a direct challenge to President Barack Obama. The Republican majority in the House of Representatives is trying to limit Obama’s freedom of action in handling foreign policy and to minimize US contributions to international organizations – especially the UN. An Israeli source told “Globes” that the Foreign Affairs Committee slashed foreign aid for the Palestinians, Egypt, Lebanon, and Yemen, until the President certifies that these governments are “not directly or indirectly controlled by a foreign terrorist organization”, and eliminated military and civilian aid altogether for Pakistan, until the Secretary of State certifies Pakistan’s cooperation in the war on terror and the effectiveness of civilian programs.
aid to israel is 3 billion which is spent on American weaponry. That is 1/1000 of 3 trillion. get your proportions straight.
We corrected it. Thanks for letting us know.
“aid to israel is 3 billion which is spent on American weaponry” in this sitaution it makes it Marshall plan like when public money goes to private pockets stock holders of military industrial complex who are this 1 or 5 % who owns 80% of america. Decentralization decentralization decentralization is needed. I would dismantle US congress and just set 1 guys from each state assembly. This assembly will be elected by state assemblies. From this guys will be choosen speaker by roatation state by state. Somethin like Switzerland has. Absolute power for ZIP code of residency and states:Income tax to the zip code. Some percentage will go to state and states will found federal assembly and fill their needs like military coordination or some agencies. All this federal agencies became controled by states and states will just do bilateral agreements.
So it will eliminate centrally corrupted power of professionally trained liers.
Americans need to wake up to the fact their congress is actually running for foreign agents.
Those clowns are not serving American interests.
Take Cantor for exapmle, he publicly stated his first loyalty is to the state of Israel.
He doen’t care about the uneployment rate in VA, hew cares Israel is strong and no cuts in Defense which is required to protect Israel.
Time to wake up Americans,,
