Because “we” have allowed an idiot into the position of authority which enabled this problem.

[Steely Tom]

Gotta decorate the rape rooms and build presidential palaces. Need to build firing-squad ranges with 90,000 seat stadiums wrapped around them. That stuff costs money.

FUIMF!

Egypt is really on the brink.

Half of its people rely completely on Gov’t subsidized propane and wheat for their daily survival. The Egyptian Gov’t (whatever it is) is down to about 2-3 months of Foreign Exchange cover for basic imports. The Muslim Brotherhood is fomenting a crisis now, cutting of gas sales, etc... so it can blame the military/transition Gov’t for the coming collapse.

Any money for them now will be to simply keep the country on life-support. It will solve nothing.

Just watched “The Kingdom” again Saturday.

I have no sympathy for these folks’ leadership. Maybe they could have a bake sale.

[Truth29]

I'd rather burn it, but you can bet that Obama will be sending devaluing USDs. He will probably send Hollande a few bushels, as well, after they get over french kissing each other at the ascendancy of socialism.

IMF says Arab Spring countries need USD90b (why should we foot the bill)

I know! We could borrow the money from Arab oil sheiks!!! /s

[servantboy777]

What the heck, we're already broke. May as well sling some more cash around.

Here's an idea, let's buy’em all a flat screen tv while we're at it.

[EyeGuy]

Meanwhile, as the music continues, in the socialist musical chairs game of LiarEconomics, the United States is broke at a level unprecedented in the history of the world.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Send the bill to Beijing.

Stop spending.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Ahmed added that during the current year, Arab oil importing countries will need USD90 billion

Perhaps they could get it from Arab oil EXPORTING countries. They've already got a lot of our money anyway.

[Eleutheria5]

We all got needs. Go ask the Saudis, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Abu Dhubai. Go ask Iran.

[familyop]

They need a $100 billion, eh? That’ll bring the dollar down more for sure.

[LucianOfSamasota]

as they lack cash

Does anyone know of a single commercial product produced in one of these countries? Other than oil - which we found, drilled and extracted for them.

Cars? refrigerators? Computers? Wheat? Tires?

If they never create anything of value, shouldn't they expect to lack cash ?

[Texas resident]

Arab spring countries need our bucks so that they can turn the cash around and donate it to their guy in the white mosque.

[Happy Rain]

Hell, why not give them the cash?

After all, WE paid for the planes they used to smash into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon...

...paying for the rope our enemies use to hang us is what we do.

(extreme sarcasm natch)

[listenhillary]

I need 2 million in cash to retire. Where do I apply?
