Our government says they can barely fund social security, national healthcare is impossible, taxes can't possibly be cut. They send billions to other countries for their healthcare. This is OUR money!

"The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief — or PEPFAR for short — focuses on 15 mostly sub-Saharan African nations. Lantos' committee plans to vote this month on a bill to triple spending on it to $50 billion over five years, a sum that AIDS groups say is closer to the needs of meeting the continuing health crisis."

I would love to see exactly where our taxes go each year. Not just "program" names, but where it goes. All this freebie shit would stop until our needs in the U.S. are squared away. Don't F'n crack me for 30% of my pay then give it away to other countries.

The government should use that money for Cancer research and adult stem cell research here in the U.S. Scientists should clone Reagan...................we have the technology

Our government is free/easy with sending our tax dollars to foreign countries, this has been a standard practice and most likely will continue, unfortunately. Not only should this practice be put in check, but our elected and other government employees should be required to actually put in an honest days work, not only on occasion but on a daily basis. Surfing the web does not count...... It is time that we send the lazy slackers to the curb.

yeah this really pisses me off as well...all of this money they are putting towards AIDS is going toward putting up hospitals and healthcare clinics and schools in Africa and sending people to Africa to help educate people in order to prevent AIDS.....why don't we put every last dime of that into finding a cure instead. If we are paying the tax dollars to fund this crap then we better be doing it for something that benifits us as well, not just another country.

Everyone blames the war and inflation for our countries debt and sh!tty economy....its not just the war, its mostly this stuff. We help out so many countries without worrying about our own problems

This all goes back to how this is supposedly a "free" country....HA! Free meaning, as long as you give us your money and follow our rules we wont kill you.
