Answer 2

Republican's...democrats...doesn't matter. All they know how to do is spend money they dont have & tax us to get it.

Answer 5

That is the administration everyone is trying to keep in power.  We don't have the money to give them.  

Take a look at your 20 & 5 dollar bill.  It is colored red.  The reason why China is saying "The money that you are spending is OURS".

PPL WAKE UP!

Answer 6

Its also equivilent to 27.77% of their tax revenue for the year (or 5% of their GDP)  yeah they had it really bad being at war with Russia for that one week.   On the same scale to equal what we are giving them, other countries would've had to give us 710 billion dollars for 9/11.  Thats on the same scale!  

And you are right about the 1000 for every family...thats alot considering that per capita income is just over 4,000 per year.  The equivelent of someone giving us $10,000+ to us here!   Heck, let someone attack us for a week...I'll take that payday!

Answer 7

I read in the paper that Georgia has key pipelines or a wealth in oil.  Know that anywhere Republicans have interest in will either have something they want to steal or exploit.  They see Russia as a competitor for some of the things they believe are their "manifest destiny" to steal I suppose.  Democrats who show interest more often than not are not promoting the agendas of special interest groups.

Because just as was evident with the catastrophe that was Katrina, the current administration would rather look out for the welfare of foreign countries rather than start where we need help the most, HOME.

But we can't afford to pay our fighting troops the pay they deserve for putting their lives in harms way. Think about the troops first for a change. They are the ones doing all the sacrificing.
