Just in Egypt or for such students anywhere? I mean let’s make sure we are not leaving any Egyptian students behind.

Senator Paul only made it through about 600 pages of the 2200 page bill. I'm sure the disadvantaged students from many other countries are also recpients of our limitless generosity.

Long laundry list so the money can be funneled into private bank accounts.

Is there really $500 million for PP?

If so, I’m sure Nancy is thrilled beyond imagination.

“$12m for Scholarships for Lebanon”

I bet the millennials up to their eyeballs in student debt would love hearing about that one.

Well I have to conclude PDJT doesn’t yet know the congressional staffers write the bills, I.e., the deep state (who hates the U.S., BTW, and congress doesn’t even read it.

Then, the staffers friends send checks to congressional campaigns. These bass-turds write budgets which destroy our country.

If I could get 5 minutes with McConnell and Ryan, they’d not stand a chance.

Trump has been a big change but not big enough. He can ultimately be convinced to do anything because, “we need to support the military”. In September, it’ll happen again. A on taxes, A+ on regulations, A+ on the environment crap, A on foreign affairs. A solid F on dealing with the swamp’s budget. On this, he has no clue what to do and he hasn’t won a battle yet. He’s not even fighting. I guess get what you can out of Trump and the. Get a Rand Paul type in there who will be willing to Shut down the government for months on end

Rand Paul needs to become a better campaigner / speechmaker / debater if he wants the nomination in 2024.

I propose that all foreign aid be cut with the money spent on Americans instead.

Agree and can anyone explain why they all had to jump on planes to leave for vacation instead of reading and debating the bill. It’s not like it’s their job or anything..
