WHOSE money is it, anyway..???

What the hell do we give money to Indonesia for?
.
Goats and defense contractors hit hardest
Yeah, but u.n. obligations and commitments and stuff. NOT! TOO BAD!
By the way, giving 10 billion dollars to Mexico was essentially notifying 25,000 American taxpayers that the entire sum of taxes they paid across their lifetime is going to be gifted the Mexican oligarchs and grifters.
Imagine every dime of taxes you paid, from your first job till the day you retire. All given the Mexico
Just think how much we could save if we just got rid if CONgre$$? *-? Serious jing. They already own them anyway.
What do you think the Clintons were selling at their coffee gatherings with the Chinese besides uranium and trade secrets? Poppies? ;-)
Really interesting 500 million to South Africa that’s in the middle of confiscating land from whites.
Holy cow! Are those numbers really on the square?
This makes me soooo mad!!!!
Why do we give them money? What the heck do they do for us?
That is a target rich environment. End all to Africa and Latin America - easy choice for me, fund the an even better wall with mine fields. I want a serious, permanent border.
A billion to GHANA...?
I’m sure freakin GHANA has weighed heavily on ALL our minds, ya know, for BUDGET SUPPORT, right..?
That’s a bit less than we’re arguing over now for preventing OUR OWN INVASION.
Our priorities are totally screwed up.
The remittances not sent back by the eannabe illegals who don’t make it over the wall and the welfare and goodies not supplied to same would pay for the wall ultimately many times over.
Our priorities are definitely screwed up, but we have the best friends money can buy.
Tax remittances to Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala at a 5% rate for every wire transfer, international check or banking transfer. Remittances to Mexico, ALONE, totaled $14 billion last year. There’s $700 million right there. If you want to tax that at a 10% rate that’s $1.4 billion. What if people stop sending US-earned dollars to Mexico and keep the money here? Good.
Sorry, did I say $14 billion? Nope, $26.1 billion and that’s just for January to October. https://money.cnn.com/2018/01/02/news/economy/mexico-remittances/index.html
We pay countries to like us and not make trouble.
We’re not getting back what we paid for.
Or how about Micronesia? What does 150M get us?
