2000 years ago, Jesus said, “we will always have the poor.”

“As we strive to rebuild America’s standing in the world…”

Why would we do that? That sounds like a small child after a scolding saying, “do you still love me mommy?”
Or like a father who is trying to be a friend to his child instead of a parent. If we have the responsibility of world leaders lets try for respect instead of begging to be liked.

“Our commitment to the global economy has to extend beyond trade agreements that are more about increasing corporate profits than about helping workers and small farmers everywhere.”

So you expect to rebuild America’s image by saying, in your opinion, we only give billions in aid to the world for corporate greed. I can feel them loving us more already.

The bill is hot air really.

There is no global tax. There is no call for us to spend billions more.

Look at the bill yourself. Don’t listen to me, don’t listen to anyone else either. Figure it out for yourself.

Try to explain to me exactly what line commits the US to $845 Billion dollars. Including the ludicrous statement that somehow Obama passing a bill in 2008, would cause our total commitment from 2002 to 2015 to $845 Billion. Ummm.. how exactly does passing a bill in 2008 increase spending in 2002?

Please, just go read the bill itself.

Oh yeah and Robert, about other countries offering us aid after Katrina hit us? I guess you didn’t count the $854 Billion that was offered to us huh?
