i find this sickening. just shameless with over 300B handed largely to contractors in this war. similar to wounded soldiers buying their meals in the hospital.

what do we have to do, back a humanitarian fund with HAL stock?

Considering how much of the tab the US taxpayer has to pick up for the rest of the world, this includes 7+ billion annually in california alone to educate, provide health care, and incarcerate illegal aliens (most of whom are evacuees of Mexico), I couldn't agree with you more!!

Why don't we deduct it out of the aid we send to Lebanon and Israel, in the ratio of the aid dispensed to these countries? Those assholes are fighting there, so let them pay.

That idea has been canned and it was only 100-150 dollars but I agree, why don't we cut it out of the aid we give these countries.

Such bullsh*t.

Let's be fair. This is a 1956 law. Don't make it sound like it was cooked up by someone in the State Department yesterday.

I'm curious what lebanon and hamas does with the charity money it receives, does it find its way back into the US via the American arms' dealers?
