Horrified

The members of Congress have sent 20 billion dollars to Pakistan over the last year. 20 billion dollars of ours to a country that is mourning tbe death of our number one enemy, that routinely expresses anti-American sentiment, and whose predominant religion not only considers us infidels but targets for destruction.

Money to these countries does not ingratiate them, does not ensure their help (as evidenced by Bin Laden living under their noses for 10 years), and does not create loyalty of any sort. We think here in America that if we make a deal, that others will abide by its provisions. These people do not think as we do. They are not interested in supporting or protecting us in any way, yet despite the evidence that proves that so clearly, we continue to divert funds to these maniacs that we should be using to take care of our own.

Our government does not allocate enough money to educate our children, the hope for our future. It is contemplating minimizing social security, a fund into which all workers pay and the government has mishandled, and it is considering getting rid of medicare, ensuring even further the poverty of the aged in this country.

I have traveled the world, and I know that we are still, without a doubt the greatest country, but we are jepoardizing that daily with the foolish decisions made by a Congress that is no longer concerned about our residents first.

Americans are screaming the answers and though they may seem simplestic, sometimes the correct answers are the ones that are most obvious.

We are at war. Stop considering what is politically correct or polite. Close the borders (America already has too many people to take care of well.), revoke VISAs, expel non-citizens, and stop funding the terrorists with our tax dollars. Use the hard-earned money that we Americans give and entrust to you to take care of our needs or we are destined to become like the rest of these countries we are trying so desperately to change--non-productive, impoverised morally and monetarily, with no strong middle class to keep those in power in check.
