You don't work for a state agency that gets federal dollars?Either way, it's about the taxpayer wasting money abroad when there money that needs to be spent here. Here means your raise and benefits too. |

Listen I don't like Money going to foreign governments especially questionable ones, however simple because we save money on maintaining a nuclear stockpile doesn't mean it will go to Egypt or to me, because the money we're spending is coming from China, it just means less money we need from China. |

The money already goes to Egypt and a long list of other countries. And for what? It's insane. And no one is proposing cuts in foreign aid while politicians here are offering such poor contracts to workers. |

Put on your reading glasses and hit the thread. We're talking about cutting off foreign aid. So we fold on Iraq and Afghanistan, those are the two biggest and to my surprise, look who's getting more aid than Egypt on that list? I'll assume that the amounts remain fairly proportional.So ... let's bring your spin out into the open here ... if we're going to be cutting that aid, looks like it'll be twice the cut for Israel if the whole enchilada gets reduced. So if you're going to play the antisemite card (and it's obvious that you're itching to) then looks like your republican friends are the antisemites after all. So there ya are. Sorry for bringing that dog to the hunt? |

Can't imagine that it isn't obvious, but OK ... let's try it simple. The complaining is that we should cut off the foreign aid because Egypt is spending it on Mosques. So since I found this to be completely off the wall, went and looked up some info. That page was just one of the things I looked at, but turns out that most of the "aid" isn't paint for Mosques, it's military aid largely. That means jobs in America but that wasn't the point.When congress allocates money for "foreign aid" it's a lump sum amount which is divided up ... so we're playing Egypt as the money hole in the propaganda that's being spouted here but if we cut Egypt, then we also have to cut Israel and everybody else. Now of course hoarking Egypt as some grand beneficiary of our "largesse" sells to the right, it would also mean that Israel would lose twice as much. I've got a problem with that but it appears as though the righties are holding on to the argument anyway, which won't be good news for Israel if they get their wish. Is it sinking in now what I meant here? Strikes me as the usual right wing divert and conquer while sticking it to Israel. |

It seems that once again you are painting with an 11" roller when the job calls for a #3 paint brush and you are making Israel your red herring in this little drama. If our foreign aid is going to repair Mosques or Churches then it seems to be contrary to our constitution that prohibits government support of religions. That foreign aid should be withheld. If you have any proof that Israel is also using U.S. Taxpayer money to fund repairs of Synagogs, then I'd agree that those funds should also be withheld. BUT as usual, you play the "Throw The Baby Out With The Bath Water" card and make it an all or nothing proposition. Your point, therefore is not valid on its face. Shall we try once again? |

No, you hire those people to build and maintain the next round of (cheaper) global strike weapons which trade the nuclear warhead for a precision guided conventional payload. That way you shunt resources from babysitting a bunch of politically unusable relics to useful, modern weapons which can make a real difference on the battlefield.In particular, the ArcLight proposal, along with other hypersonic weapon proposals, could completely change the way we approach strategic weapons. |
