Now the hard work begins ... how to hide the Hemorrhage of Foreign Aid ... Frozen is just the name of a movie

I am currently writing a new song. It is titled Smoke and Mirrors. It will be set to the tune of Sinatra’s Love and Marriage.

How about working for significant reductions is Foreign Leader’s Swiss Bank Account deposits - we know where most of this so-called “aid” goes - see US aid to Yaser Arafat [remember this conman - Nobel Peace Prize - WTF] and what his wife spent on buying sprees in Paris) In reality, foreign assistance typically makes up less than 1% of the trillions of dollars in federal spending (who cares about %?, oh only 1 % I guess that is OK. - right). Still, the U.S. gives more money in foreign aid in total dollars than any other country in the world, distributing more than $640 billion globally from 2012 through 2022.

I will brave yet another prediction … Real Foreign Aid dollar outflow will INCREASE under Trump.

https://foreignassistance.gov (of course the numbers are lies) but anyway …

Wow! Can you imagine the national infrastructure (roads and electrical grid) that we could have for 640B?

National central banks owned by the people to create their own currency and money. When you run out, reset and start over. You’re only borrowing from/for your own future. No middleman to deal with means no foreign control. Items should be traded based on value determined by the countries involved not a preset skimmable control rate. Its too bad ‘honesty is the best policy’ has nothing to do with reality and probably never will. Qadaffi Duck like others got a taste of that lollipop and liked it. Then, he realized it was actually his peoples’ lollipop which he had given away. He clued in far too late and paid the price. Now his ‘people’ continue to pay over and over and over… He’s only one. I have zero sympathy for the man. If you can’t run with the big dogs you should stay on the veranda. From that vantage point you can pick off the big dogs as they enter your property. That’s as philosophical as I can get.

The US Dollar is losing its ‘value’ every second of every day, so what’s the answer? An all-new digital currency.

… you’re correct. I should have written the phrase as Foreign Aid “Dollar” outflow. :slight_smile:

I will be watching to see how soon the Road System in WNC is repaired?! Those people are still living in a disaster zone with churches banding together to provide propane heaters to keep people from freezing!! Some are still in tents!! It’s hard for us to visualize that entire communities were just wiped off the face of the Earth! Many of those still alive lost EVERYTHING…it’s hard to imagine!! Deep River Farm gives updates on how the churches are helping. Appalachian Navy has been very active in the relief effort as well. Alexandra Bruce who lives in Asheville puts the total at 15,000…my guess is much more as the rivers were so swollen they just wiped out whatever was in their path! :disappointed_relieved: Whatever, my opinion is that this disaster was much worse than what happened with Katrina!
