Today the Obama administration unveiled what it promised would be the last "emergency," "supplemental" spending bill to cover the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The total of $83.4 billion is supposed to pay for the two wars for the rest of the fiscal year. The President is using the emergency request as an excuse to slip money to North Korea and the Palestinians. Included within that $83.4 Billion is over $800 million for the West Bank and Gaza and $95 Million for North Korea and another $45 Million for Zimbabwe.
Maybe I'm missing something but didn't North Korea just launched a missile when we asked them not to? And if this is supposed to be a supplemental expenditure for the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars why is almost one billion of it going to the PA? Below are the pertinent parts of the President's request:

“$800 million for the West Bank and Gaza and $95 Million for North Korea and another $45 Million for Zimbabwe”
I’m surprised it doesn’t add up to 911.
North Korea has been thumbing its nose at the world, developing nuclear weapons and long range ballistic missiles - capable of reaching our Country. Again, not the kind of behavior we want to reward.
obama is an anti-American jerk. We absolutely should not be supporting these regimes in any way. Congress needs to stop this guy, now.
Not that I want to sound like someone who can’t stand the kenyan and all he stands for(because I can’t stand the putrid man and his admin), but how much were we paying to N.Korea during the Bush era spending spree?
Hey buddy, true.

Table of US aid to NK since 1995
Note that much of it was food aid (diverted by Kimmy to his military) - aid numbers were large under Klintoon, and eventually went to zero during the last few Bush years
Holy cow, is this real? US tax-payer money for North Korea and Zimbabwe? Why not drop bombs on American cities while you’re at it, Obama?
It’s outrageous that we gave a cent to a bunch of brutal dictators. You think they’ll let us in the country to see how the money is spent? No. Why the outrage over bonuses but not this?
true,I cut and pasted from the presidents memo
