Washington criminals at work with your money

How many of you have ever spent time researching our foreign aid illogical concept? Let me tell you, I haven’t spent a ton of time but I can tell you it’s pretty scary and very secretive beyond your imagination; Bookkeeping 101 would even be an improvement. It’s almost like trying to find out what they actually do when in session.

Even though it’s almost impossible to pin down true figures it’s very easy to see that we as citizens deserve an open and honest answer. It’s not to say that we wouldn’t be wrong if all decided to march on Washington and demand answers. They are literally throwing our money away for their own political gain.

I was astonished at the number of countries as well as the ridiculous reasons we give these countries your money. Most of these countries do not even like us; they don’t want us there, they want us (not our money) gone.

Folks, these staggering amounts of money could make a tremendous difference in what this Obama czar gang spends each day. They are putting your families in a hole that can’t be escaped regardless of how hard you work. Why don’t we demand that Congress cut just 50 percent of all foreign aid immediately and each year additional percentages? I personally don’t think that is too much to ask.
