On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

What does it say when you look at total amount of money given? No one comes close to the pure dollars that the US gives away to foreign countries. When you look at a percentage of GDP yes the US is lower on the list, but no one has the GDP of the US.

Pan: The two reasons she gave for switching from the Democratic party are rather bogus to me.
1. She didn't like Jimmy Carter's foreign policy
2. Her father was denied the right to vote in 1951 by the Dixiecrats.

The reasons are always bogus. They always amount to being bought by the conservatives, who obviously have deeeeeeep pockets, and just love to get their hands on a compliant Uncle Tom. Rice knew where the big bucks were.

How does one have tremendous respect for a war criminal, an arch liar, someone who prostitutes herself for money, ... ?

???? I have a tremendous respect for Hitler. ????

It has nothing to do with total dollars spent and everything to do with what a country can afford, GDP.
All of the 28 countries listed in front of the US are giving more.

Get the asshole in the WH to stop tearing it down first.

George Dubya is not there anymore, CJ. Get with the program!

Without a doubt, the USA is # 1. But that is because the USA is so wealthy. How did it get that way? From over a century of using its military might to steal the wealth of the world, most of it from the poor of the world, the ones the propaganda tells us the USA is trying to save.

Most of the usa's foreign "aid" goes to furthering its FP. Israel and Egypt account for much of this "aid".

"Aid" given to the poor comes with so many strings attached (Tied Aid) that it isn't aid at all. It is a loss leader to help the USA get its foot in the door for later exploitation.

Red States Feed at Federal Trough, Blue States Supply the Feed
In the 2000 elections 8 out of the 10 states that voted for Bush took more in entitlements than they gave in tax dollars.
8 out of the 10 states that voted for Gore gave more in taxes than they took in entitlements.
The Red states are mooching, Ms. Condo Rice.

The USA is only the world's biggest giver because it is rich. In terms of generosity and altruism, the USA is the most stingy and self-interested giver in the developed world:

[Americans] are regularly told by politicians and the media, that America is the world's most generous nation. This is one of the most conventional pieces of 'knowledgeable ignorance'. According to the OECD, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the US gave between $6 and $15 billion in foreign aid in the period between 1995 and 1999. In absolute terms, Japan gives more than the US, between $9 and $15 billion in the same period. But the absolute figures are less significant than the proportion of gross domestic product (GDP, or national wealth) that a country devotes to foreign aid. On that league table, the US ranks twenty-second of the 22 most developed nations. As former President Jimmy Carter commented: 'We are the stingiest nation of all'. Denmark is top of the table, giving 1.01% of GDP, while the US manages just 0.1%. The United Nations has long established the target of 0.7% GDP for development assistance, although only four countries actually achieve this: Denmark, 1.01%; Norway, 0.91%; the Netherlands, 0.79%; Sweden, 0.7%. Apart from being the least generous nation, the US is highly selective in who receives its aid. Over 50% of its aid budget is spent on middle-income countries in the Middle East, with Israel being the recipient of the largest single share.”

Not only that, but according to one source cited by Sarder & Davies, 80% of that aid itself actually goes to American companies in those foreign countries.

% of USA aid 1988-1989
Israel 12.5
Egypt 9.5
Pakistan 3.9
El Salvador 3.3
India 1.9
Philippines 1.8
“US aid, which acquired an increasingly military flavour during the Regan years, is now concentrated on a relatively small number of countries of special political importance.”
"Introduction to International Politics" by Heater & Berridge (1992)3
According to Heater & Berridge, Israel has been receiving 12/13% of all American charitable foreign aid since 1979, the chart shows numbers from 1988-1989.

2.2. Tied Aid

“The most generous countries are also the ones that do not tend to tie aid to their own products and services. The stingiest countries also, almost spitefully and nastily, force countries to buy their own services and products with the aid they give; which reduces free trade and commerce and harms the country's economy, as well as being simply selfish and conceited. Thankfully, many countries do not tie their aid. Countries that tie less than 10% of aid include Ireland, Norway and the UK, then Belgium, Finland, Switzerland and Sweden. The USA is the worst, and ties nearly 90% of its aid to developing countries. Italy is the second worst with 70%. The two worst countries for this obnoxious practice in aid-giving are also the two countries out of the most developed countries, who give least generously!”
"What is the Best Country in the World?: An Index of Morality, Conscience and Good Life" by Vexen Crabtree (2013)

And who is making that possible? Obama and his handouts. deal with it, you and your kind want it this way.

Again, tell the asshole in the WH, he is still blaming him for everything.

You apparently think George Dumbya is still in the White House, CJ.

You didn't say a thing of value, cj, just more memes. You may as well post another emoticon. That way you wouldn't be stating so categorically,

LOOK AT ME. I'M AN IDIOT OF GIGANTIC PROPORTIONS!!!

Her race had nothing to do with my comments. I resented her lies and militaristic stances.

Is your diaper full? Something is clouding your mind.

I'm not the one who thinks George Dumbya is still in the White House, CJ!

Since when does any country HAVE to give anything away? What they can afford? Does that mean the US HAS to give more money? That is very socialist of you. Good thing a majority of those in the US don't feel the way you do.

Have it your way, I am not the one in diapers.

Oh. Well...that must mean you have lots of **** on the floor then!

Yeah, there is a big time republican push against Hispanics. They are trying to push them out of the country.
