We're financially promoting and setting up a job program

for our not so friendly folks overseas. Considering how well our current administration has done with this country's jobs programs, do you think he's doing a little back door destruction in those countries I'm furious that we are borrowing from one of our greatest enemies to continue promoting countries that have no use for us whatsoever. I'm tired of going further into debt because no one in our government has the guts to 'just say no' when we're hammered for money We Do Not Have. Since we cannot dig for gold in our own backyard, the mighty United States is held captive by the Middle East and other enemies for our dependence on their fuel. They say gimme and we say sure no problem. Wake up, America! There is a problem. What countries would you take off our Christmas list (ooops, can't say Christmas although we can say Ramadan, so) er, ah, Ramadan list?

Beautiful discussion, mystic, and great insight. We are systemmatically being destroyed by a corrupt criminal government headed by a foreign and domestic enemy in the WH who has wrongfully been given power to annihilate us and is so doing with great joy, or should I say jihad.

I don't know that he is ready for jihad, but he does seem to join forces with an extraordinary number of people who hate this country and anything it stands for. That came through in his campaign, but too many people heard what they wanted to hear instead of the truth. Remember the woman who was thrilled that she wouldn't have to pay her mortgage or for a car, etc. She actually believed the president would arrange to pay all her bills from the Treasury. She wasn't the only one and that is why he is in the White House. Unfortunately, I don't believe McCain would have been much better. He sways whichever way the wind is blowing for HIS success not our country's.

This man Obama is definitely intent on destroying America and Israel. One form of terrorism is economic destruction. It is painfully obvious that he hates Israel and wants it to be annihilated and is doing everything in his wrongfully usurped power to decimate what used to be America and its freedoms, economy, and respect in the world. In my opinion that is nothing less than jihad, the destruction of Western civilization from within. And don't forget all the Arab money he has received, since Al Mansur financed some of his "college" education, to the illegal foreign campaign contributions he received. It is no "coincidence" he is allied with criminals and America haters of all sorts, because he IS one. It is also no coincidence that both Russia (see youtube interviews with Tom Fife, circa 1992) and Egypt (see youtube interview of IDF's Avi Lipkin on Gary Stearman show) knew we would have a "black Muslim president" years ago. It's frightening really, cause Obama is a total fraud and criminal; he is the next phase of "Bin Laden", whom he no more captured that did Mickey Mouse. He is set to reduce us to third world status and give our sovereignty over to the UN, at the very least. He is using the Muslim tactic of taqiyya (permissable lying in order to distract, deceive, disarm and vanquish an enemy) with the whole fraudulent BC issue, when he knows he has criminally usurped (treason) the office to which he is not entitled since he can't pass the first threshhold test of "natural born", the child of TWO US citizens. Once that test is failed, it wouldn't matter where he was born, though it was in Kenya. This is a wicked and dangerous man and it goes beyond "politics as usual". I do agree with you that McCain is wishy-washy, and in fact, threw the election, as he, too, knew O was NEVER eligible. However, McCain was put through Congressional hearings to determins his eligibility. This stranger Obama, aka Soetoro, aka Dunham, aka Soebarkah, etc. was never even vetted (Jack Maskell, congressional attorney, memo to Congress 4/09). The State Dept. declared O a "dual-national" 7/10 which means he is NOT natural born, and had not Lt. Quarles Harris, Jr. been murdered conveniently 4/08, as he was preparing to testify for the government in the passport fraud scheme, we would have found out that this criminal is here as an illegal alien, dual- national of Kenya/Britain and Indonesia. Yes, we have been voting for the "lesser of the two evils" in this country for years, but, just because we have accepted this, we now have pure evil unleashed in form of the foreign and domestic enemy in the WH. It is, indeed, his mission of jihad to take down the US and Israel, and he is doing a fine job.

I agree that we should not be borrowing money to give to dictators who are opposed to us. We don not have to spend taxpayer dollars to create jobs but rather we need to reduce the bureaucracy that is running this country. When the Republicans asked business what could the government do to help them create jobs they said get out of the way. A good example is the energy department gave approval to drill in Alaska for oil. The state of Alaska approved the drilling. The EPA saw no danger in drilling there. OSHA inspected the site and approved. Now that the company has spent well over a billion dollars to bring this on line the EPA (air quality division) steps in and said we now think that the fumes from this plant might, if the winds are right and strong enough, cause the fumes to go over a village 90 miles away so you can't operate the plant but you can drill there just don't use machinery. Then we spend billions to Brazil to drill for oil which will cause more oil rigs to be moved from the gulf and coast of the US to Brazil to drill offshore there.

Don't forget our president's visit to Brazil to assure them we would be their best customer. That brought a big 'Huh???' from me, but I could hear other oil rich countries laughing in glee at our stupidity in not drilling for our own resoures. But that isn't the first time we've been laughed at in the last two years. At least with Bush, people knew we were willing to defend our country. The only reason we are still in Iraq and Afghanistan is that President Obama discovered it's easier to promise than to actually accomplish closing up shop on the wars. Of course, to make things better he jumped into another war where we have no business being. And, he did it because he was intimidated by the U.N. Time has passed the date he should have either asked OUR Congress to vote for the war or get our equipment, people and money back home. Once upon a time we could afford to play Santa to the world, but the jolly guy is now broke and too foolish to pull in the reins on spending. How he loves giving toys to everyone except his own household.

We should definitely be spending the money here, and even then spending less of it. The problem is, creating jobs overseas is so much easier than creating jobs here where corporate bosses are getting paid millions to reduce their workforces. If we give big businesses money or cut their taxes, they just pay their top people more as a reward for making the company more efficient, which almost always means fewer employees doing more work for less money and less benefits. Overseas, the money is a bigger bang per buck because we are contributing to the creation of an economic system that will make the public more able to lead the goverment, rather than follow AND create a consumer base with disposible income that will likely turn around and buy US products. Hooray for American Economic Imperialism! Don't forget to buy American!

The money we are sending over has nothing to do with the U.S. companies currently moved to new countries. It is to help every other country build THEIR work forces. I prefer to keep our dollars here until we can open some breathing room for American unemployed who would like nothing better than to have jobs here. We support every other country in the world for every purpose imaginable while our own languish and lose everything they ever had. Thank you so much for joining the discussion.
