Seriously? The French helping America in its revolution does not justify giving aid to nations who we think deserve it, that's complete bullshit. Please prove me wrong.

I did already.

But for more, consider we should be spending money on our own infrustructure, healthcare, jobs, education and so on.

And the help of otther countries during revolution and civil war - I meant that they didn't come fight or do much of anything. They stayed pretty much out of it, and we should stay out of what's going on there. Really -- Is it worth getting into a war with Russia over it?

More big brothering to another Israel?

Charity starts at home.

I'm all for helping out our friends if we thing they'll use the money wisely. But we shouldn't give them money when we don't have the money to take care of ourselves. The US will fall apart pretty quickly if we don't address our crumbling infrastructure soon.

Russia could come and take that one over and I'd care less. In fact.. give them most of the south-east.

I voted yes because for the government a one off payment of 1 billion is like giving pocket change to a beggar.  Personally I'd like to see it earmarked explicitly for humanitarian-only projects. I bet instead it will go to weapons, probably weapons bought from the US because that's how most "foreign aid" tends to work.

Once we hand money over to a foreign government, it doesn't matter what our earmarks are -- They're going to spend it as they damned well please.

I voted no. We have to learn to stay the fuck out of other people's business. Georgia was a part of the USSR, and they're simply fighting for their independence. I don't remember anyone fighting for ours back in 1776.

You think Georgia is a separate race? No. They aren't Georgians. They're Russians. They might live in a place not fully recognized as a country called Georgia, and so can be called Georgians by that way, but it isn't like their bloodlone changed any.

Kind of like our civil war.

I don't remember anyone helping us during our civil war Everyone stayed out. We aren't the world police.



Is a serious post?
