Question is simple,
Republicans hate using our tax money to help fellow americans in need.
But love to grab our tax dollars and give it away to anybody around that World that will say "I love America"
Before you say "It's to help their military"
Anybody that has lived in any 3rd World country knows that 10 politicians are gonna take all that money.

Why do republicans support giving away our tax dollars to foreign countries and hate to help americans?


The Seoul Times
The 87 billion dollars Bush requested to rebuild Iraq and which Congress has approved, shocked many Americans. Spending that amount to rebuild a country, which Americans view as having one of the richest oil reserves in the world, makes people wonder why we are not spending the money to fix our own infrastructure.

Dopo, I think you have stretched things here just a bit. I think that if you hide and watch a bit you will see our present administration trying to pay for restoration of places we have destroyed and for our infrastructure at the same time.

Were Democrats in Congress stopping that spending you talk about the past two years? I think not but then they could always blame the President. Now that they can't do that I don't know what they will do.

You are avoiding the question by saying that Obama will do the same thing.

Republicans are crying about spending our taxes on americans that need help because they don't deserve that money.

How come republicans don't complain when there's a republican president rebuilding schools and roads in other countries with our tax dollars?

Well i'm not a republican but the real question is why does and has our government always given money to other countries? there are many answers for this a few are so we can have a embassy there, so we can keep an eye on them, so we can have a base there, so they will share information with us and the list goes on. It will continue with Obama because it has nothing to do with democrates or republicans it's the government as a whole.

Bush spent billions rebuilding Iraq even when the their government had an economic surplus.
So it's not about embassy.

The question is,
why didn't republicans complain about that spending of our taxes?

Nice try with a well reasoned post but I don't think you will get through to dopo who is just plain one of those Republican haters. Keep trying and maybe you will get through that liberal mind shield.

I'm not a republican but here's the obvious: George W's families money is mostly in oil. If they keep wind power,solar and hydro power away then the demand for oil remains high and so does the Bush $$$.So giving money to oil rich countries keep the Bush fortune in tact. With all the money they pissed away we could already have universal healthcare and be through with oil dependency.
