In addition to solar water heaters for rural Puerto Rico and the Raul Alvarez Golf Course in Austin, Texas, Obama administration sources say the U.S. is also planning to relieve taxpayers of $900 million for Gaza, much of which can be expected to land in the pockets of the terrorist group Hamas, which runs the region.
To a family being foreclosed on, or a businesswoman forced by tough times to close up shop, this doesn't exactly signal that Uncle Sam is in solidarity with you.
The feel-good policy that we should treat our enemies the same as our allies is absurd. And costly.
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer we have a policy to deliver US taxpayer money to Hamas in small increments---the cost of one round of 7.62mm sniper ammunition is about $.30. Delivered with the appropriate sniper rifle I think we'll run out of Hamas before we run out of 7.62mm-sized taxpayer allotments.
Bubba, you may remember there was some question as to whether Obama was going to get the Jewish vote in pluralities comparable to other Democratic candidates in the past. Ultimately, with the occurrence of the financial crisis, he did.
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether Jewish Americans, however, will ultimately have buyer's remorse.
"I wonder whether Jewish Americans, however, will ultimately have buyer's remorse."
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the Obamanators will find a way to obscure the reality from Jewish Americans with some smoke and mirrors routine or the other.
It's clearly their forte, as evidenced by their success in the last campaign with such tactics.
