Start helping Americans you idiots. Or one day you will meet your maker.
What a bonehead idea-funnel more of OUR money into a lawless Godless country that will funnel it towards terrorists.
Our government is not stupid. It is not mistaken. It is not uninformed.
It is criminal
You know if for just 1 year we stopped sending any money to other countries we would not have a national debt & we'd be in good shape. Unfortunately, we give millions/billions of dollars away to everyone & their brother. How about taking care of US for a change!!!
Does this really surprise anyone?
