In economic times that are so dire taxpayers have to pony up $700B to bail out wall street shysters, after already having to bail out government shysters like Freddie and Fannie, all expenditures need to be reevaluated as to whether we are getting our moneys worth. Just as millions of American households have been forced to reexamine and ultimately change their spending habits, government must seize the opportunity. It is a great time to cut out the bloat, to get healthy and lean again. What has our $700M in aid to the Palestinians bought us this year?
Secretary of State Rice is touring the Middle East for the eighth time this year and as usual comes home with empty platitudes. Just as in the Clinton administration, Bush's Secretary of State finds "moderate" Palestinian terrorists to work with, providing them millions in taxpayer dollars and promising an end to violence. Why are we continually faced with the same problem despite herculean efforts by American politicians and taxpayers? Could it be that this problem cannot be solved in the manner proscribed, or even preferred, by the Americans? The question begs, would we get the same result if we didn't give the $700M? Given that the majority of weapons purchased with the American aid have ended up in the hands of Hamas, the answer seems rather obvious. We are financing the terrorists. In response to the economic downturn, how about we cut off this assistance immediately and save ourselves $700M a year in the process?
