“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?"
