Under Obama, Foreign Aid Up 80%
When Comrade Obama talks about spreading the wealth around, he doesn’t just mean from those it belongs to to those it doesn’t within our borders. He means spreading it from America to foreign countries. After all, from the international collectivist point of view, all Americans are selfish members of the 1%. Consequently,
In fiscal 2008, the government spent a total of $11.427 billion in international assistance programs, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement. In fiscal 2011, according to the statement, it spent $20.599 billion — an increase of $9.172 billion, or 80 percent, from 2008.
Prior to President Obama taking office, international assistance spending had been trending down for three years, according to the Treasury.
But then came Hopey Change…
Since 2008, international assistance spending has increased each year. In fiscal 2009, it climbed to $14.827 billion. In fiscal 2010, it jumped to $20.038 billion. And, in fiscal 2011, it climbed again to $20.599 billion.
By the end of August, after the first eleven months of fiscal 2012, the federal government had already spent $20.058 on foreign aid in that fiscal year. That was well ahead of the $18.439 billion the federal government had spent on foreign aid through August of last year.
If you want to know why Obama would use the government to steal our money by the $billions and give it to often hostile regimes overseas, read Obama’s America, in which Dinesh D’Souza describes the kooky and malevolent anticolonial ideology that drives Obama’s foreign policy. To understand why he continues to throw around money that we simply do not have to spend even as the national debt threatens our economy with total collapse in the foreseeable future, refer to the Cloward-Piven strategy.
On a tip from TheWrightWing.
“By the end of August, after the first eleven months of fiscal 2012, the federal government had already spent $20.058 billion on foreign aid.”
At least we now know why our taxes are going to go up $3,000 in January. Obama has to pay for all that foreign aid he’s handing out.
And don’t expect Mittens the Kitten to bring this up in the debate. He’s been too busy writing his concession speech to worry about the crashing of America.
Remember the good old days when the US Constitution and rule of law were followed and the US House had the ultimate responsibility to initiate ALL federal government spending?
Sun News is reporting that the Spender-in-chief is (in preparation for the debates) residing in a luxury resort in Las Vegas — staying in (of course) The Morroccan room. (Not that long ago, the liar was saying people shouldn’t be going to Vegas, given the economy).
Where are the Paulbots?
So why are we both paying AND pandering ?
We can’t buy our way out of Sharia law.
They want our first amendment on a stick.
Foreign aid spending to sworn enemies of the U.S. which, incidentally, must come from from the body which holds the purse strings, Congress. The House has a strong Republican majority for two years and it is THOSE people allowing/allotting the money the head traitor is throwing so liberally to his Muslim Brother[hood]s in the U.S.-loathing Middle East.
I would love someone to show me what, in any way major or minor, the Republican representatives we hired(led by John Boehner) are protecting us from the Marxist Revolution we are seeing take place before our eyes, besides flapping their gums with fake indignation.
Besides passing continuing resolutions instead of real budgets for 1000+ days which the Constitution REQUIRES, and giving our Marxist overlords most everything they want, including money to buy Obama-phones, what exactly is the purpose of the existence of Congress now. Obama passes whatever law he wants as an E.O., and ignores whatever law he wants, while compromising (commonly called treason in the time of war, for which soldiers used to get executed) national security for the benefit of his campaign propaganda. It looks like we now have a rubber-stamp Reichstag in the U.S.
The global redistributionist-in-chief has been hard at work, between golf outings and beach vacations.
There is NO Constitutional authority for this give away program, especially where the country is already broke. STOP paying your taxes into this illegal system until it has been fixed.
Remember the good old days when…
Unless you’re incredibly old, you don’t remember those good ole days, either. The commies were nibbling away before the turn of the 20th century.
I’ve heard lots of people long for the “good ole days” of ethical and trustworthy newsmen “like Walter Cronkite” too. When they hear me snort, they think I’m just too cynical.
Where are the Paulbots?
They have checked out of the process
Actually, I believe Paul’s position of no foreign aid program as a bit rash
Aid could be used to further America’s interests
It could be used in lieu of military force
I could be in favor of aid sent to Egypt that actually undermines the Muslim Brotherhood
Or sending American cigarettes to the Iranian people, then abruptly halting random shipments, ect to sow discontent
Or even free F&F guns to the Mexican government explicitly for the drug gangs
(with defective barrels, of course)
Yes, the Marxist-in-Chief is doing all those things, and a whole lot more. In fact, most of the things he’s doing to destroy this country and it’s people, we don’t even know about. But, do you see anyone stopping him?

Does all this spending mentioned above include the mosk restauration we are paying for around the world:
