We have not been able to find Bin Laden in six years. However, the IRS
goon squads can find you if you owe them 50 cents. We spend more money
cutting down pot plants then we do dealing with what is important.

The priorities in America are just ****ed up beyond belief
It's all about MONEY


That's just so we have enough to give out to the rest of the world when they
can't manage their economies. If we'd stop supporting some of these losers
we might be better off.

Control yourself :-) Do you realize what this would mean? These
countries would then go from simply hating us to REALLY hating us!!!

You need to catch up on current events. The U. S. is living off money we
borrow from foreigners.

You are right a significant sector of our economy is supported by investment
cash from other countries. Yet we still provide more foreign aid than any
other two countries combined. (Well almost, UK and Japan combined do a
little more than we do. But it is close enought for government work.)

If you do take the time to look at that page please note that "The New
Superpower" China isn't even in the top 22. While Luxembourg and New Zealand
are.
