I think what it is saying is that the TOTAL FORIEGN aid bill is 19.4 billion and that the 25K is the portion earmarked for Saudi Arabia.
Good. F 'em. They own 1/4 of the worlds oil and they need aid? WTF?

That 25k was all that SA was going to get, abunch of other countries get the remaining 19,399,975,000.00

thanks for making that clearer FB

Its not just about the 25K. Obviously thats not alot of money. Heres the part to re-read

"The House voted 217-191 to remove $25,000 in the $19.4 billion 2005 foreign aid bill earmarked for Saudi Arabia.

The funds were designated for military training but approval would have triggered millions of dollars in discounts on hardware and other military training, lawmakers said. "


again.......

"but approval would have triggered millions of dollars in discounts on hardware and other military training, lawmakers said."





Here.....I'll save you the trouble

Why are we giving other countries 19 billion in aid: Why not redistribute that money to all the taxpayers in this fuckin country?

I work my ass off all week, FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS, I'm pissed that some of my tax dollars go to people in this country, never mind foreigners.

Because you are a nice, humble man. You know that your money will help some impovrished billionaire finish 3 imported tiles at the end of his lagoon-sized swimming pool. These 3 tiles are vitally important. One day, a visiting bourgouis from America will stand on those tiles and, as fate would have it, not slip because of the expensive finish. I'm sorry. I said bourgouis. That might be distasteful to some capatalists present who belive in the Poor Mans Dream (ie, starting out cleaning garbage bins behind McDonalds you could theoretically one day own half of the country). Therefore, please submit 'successful entraupeneur where you see bourgouis.

Sounds like you are a victim of Socialism there...but there is still hope as it isn't fatal.

Oh, by the way, my dad's cousin started selling suits out of his car and today is a multi-millionaire realtor. Not quite McDonalds to half-the-world, but just an idea of what people can do in a Capitalist system. And who calls Americans lazy?
