Sequestration doesn’t apply when it’s money for our friends the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian Authority

“I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the government was broke, and had to cut back spending as a result. I think that was supposed to be the reason for something called “sequestration”.

“But I must have heard wrong. Seems that the current Administration has just approved the release of nearly $500 million in funds to our firm allies the Palestinian Authority. And they’ve asked Congress for another $200 million for the Palestinian Authority for this year, too.

“This is on top of the $250 million in 'economic assistance' we just sent to our firm friends, the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government of Egypt. And the $37 million in additional education aid we gave that steadfast US 'friend' Pakistan about a week ago. And I’m sure there are a few other such giveaways out there that have happened during the last few weeks.

“By my math, that all totals close to a billion dollars. I’m guessing it’s more than $1 billion when it’s all added up.

“And it’s all going to regimes that are often less-than-friendly to the US.

“Sequestration? Yeah, that sequestration is really helping us cut back on nonessential Federal spending, isn’t it?"
