State Department's gravy train

[Fantail]

This pisses me off to no end. We have a deficit out of control, citizens uprooted by natural disasters getting the short end of the stick, but the government can spend our tax dollars on foreign welfare?  >

expect nothing less... I'd like to cut most of our foreign aid, we have enough issues of our own.

My head is gonna explode one of these days from all the ridiculous things that I hear about our state department... the mafia has nothing on our US government..and yet they call gansters criminals for doing the same things as they do... >

When I read about this kind of crap going on I start to wonder if I was born in this time so I can watch my country collapse?  >

The congress, Senate, President and the Supreme Court have passed all the laws, budgets etc that have gotten us in this mess. They have no Idea or Will to get us out of this mess. We need to have them all removed and start from scratch. We can't borrow money from China and use the money to support Foreign aid at tax payers expense. Does any of our policies make any type of sense . We are broke stop the spending!!!!!!!!!!!!!
