Obama's proposed budget cuts spare foreign aid

Um, Hellooo!!! Am I the only one who sees something seriously wrong with this picture???


Obama's three-year spending freeze will be part of the budget Obama will submit Feb. 1, senior administration officials said, commenting on condition of anonymity to reveal unpublished details.

The savings would be small at first, perhaps $10 billion to $15 billion, one official said. But over the coming decade, savings would add up to $250 billion.

The Pentagon, veterans programs, foreign aid and the Homeland Security Department would be exempt from the freeze.

A country that can't afford to spend on its own domestic expenditures has no goddamn business "aiding" other countries!


Apparently, we'll never see any real change in America unless Americans thrash their congressmen and women right there in front of their precious obelisk, for all the world to see.
