Where in the Constitution does it give authority to spend our money for third worlds? It is time for Democracy in these countries not hand outs. If I choose to donate, I am free to do so. Not compelled by Congress........ 39119@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:04:57 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#39056 How about instead of this we do the US Poverty Act? Call me insensitive but I think you take care of your own household before you worry about the neighbors. Besides over the years trillions have been thrown at Africa by the entire world and the has been no discernable improvement. The fact is we cannot help them until they are willing to help themselves.... 39056@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:24:59 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38990 The new world order - again.

That does not mean it will get the results it was meant for.But it's a start.This only works where people have a voice. And it is listen to and acted upon.... 38920@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:43:08 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38791 this is an outrage... 38791@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:56:27 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38780 This is a joke! We have people in our own country who are going hungry who are now on the current welfare system that this bill represents for the world. What a laugh. You liberals are pathetic. Truely. wake up and smell the coffee will ya? Welfare ONLY oppresses those it wants to control. If you don't believe it, try living on it.... 38780@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:03:19 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38658 Another tax to support other countries?! Welfare doesn't work for the long term. Stop having 15 babies and feed what you have. I only had one child because I could not afford another. For me to be forced to support someone else to have babies is an insult. My vote is NO!... 38658@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 05 Jul 2008 17:08:25 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38576 What about our huge deficit or health care problems? We have a lot of issues that need attention at home and then we can go overseas, we need that kind of money invested in alternative fuel, etc.... 38576@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:31:29 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38387 welcome to Marxism, this is nothing but the blatant redistribution of wealth. Evidentially all you Americans are too rich and need to pay for the world welfare system. If you really have so much money that you feel you can throw it away to the world, by all means send it to the enlisted corps of the U.S. military. They certainly deserve more than they are paid for all they do. But it is by no means the job of the US or its people to try to rid poverty in the world... we have enough problems at home that first need to be taken care of.... 38387@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:33:50 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38340 You libtards! How is this bill going to help anyone. It's welfare! How about the rest of the world go out and actually work for a living. We cant eliminate poverty in this country and you think 845 billion dollars are going to do what? Do you really think that the money we give these nations are going to get in the hands of the people? How about teach capitalism...oh no! Cant do that...you guys love socialism to much. How about we "get the French and Russians to chip in with the money they skimmed off the last "Food-For-Oil" program.... 38340@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:04:38 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38328 If they'd stop popping out babies and take their goverment back from the communist dictators they'd be prosperous. They are blessed with an abundance of natural resources. Any money or food sent is taken by their government and re-sold on the open market. Stop taking my tax money and giving it away to other people, that is stealing. Our taxes are taken at the end of a gun. If we don't pay our taxes a guy with a gun comes to your door and throws you in jail for tax evasion. Don't take handouts, get a job! Don't give handouts, give advice.... 38328@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:25:04 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#38324 The attempted institution of socialism.... 38324@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:04:10 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#37384 Yea, they're going to reduce the people alright...... 37384@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 15 Jun 2008 05:38:33 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#36534 How many of you stupid liberals are willing to give up your car, house and your money to donate to help world poverty. None I bet. Is it worth destroying the country for garbage like this bill. God forbid we should try to save social security and medicare. Mr obama and his new world communist view can go straight to hell, if the mindless drones in this country would just wake up to this impending movement of destruction of the U.S. economy and way of life, maybe we can save ourselves before its too late.... 36534@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 07 Jun 2008 16:53:54 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#36502 I'm sorry, but why is it that I should cash in my children's college education so liberals can feel good feeding a dozen corrupt african warlords billions of our tax dollars? By the way, there are 13 million starving American children right under your faux-pious noses that you won't give the time of day.... 36502@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:31:24 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#36500 When will we realize that no matter how NICE it is our children can't afford to bring the rest of the world out of poverty.... 36500@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:56:22 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#35995 Any US politician who votes for this needs to be voted out. The United States of America is a leader in the world, we don't follow and we don't try to buy friends. Poverty in the world is usually associated with oppresive governments and dictators. We just send money to countries and have their corrupt governments put it om their pockets. We won't be there for anyone if we continue to burden the hard working US taxpayer with stuff like this. I just can't beleive that we have gone so far left that this wasn't laughed out of congress in the first 10 seconds. Am I the only true Republican left?... 35995@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 30 May 2008 18:50:30 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#35580 Charity begins at home. There are 40 million Americans without health insurance, roads and bridges in need of repair, unemployment in the inner cities at high levels etc. that are problems that we need to address. I am all for helping out the poor, but to send 0.7% of GDP to the dictators of the world hoping to get it to the people who need it is naive. It will be another example of Obama's friend billionaire Auchi a former confidante of Sadham Hussein, who bilked millions from the Iraqi oil for food program. Obama must be stopped now before he has a chance to do real damage to the American people and their pocketbooks.... 35580@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 24 May 2008 21:50:52 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#35311 Didn´t we try this before in our own country with the ¨Great Society¨? What was the proverty rate before that piece of legislation? And what is it now?? Having a government throw money at a problem, although well intentioned, NEVER works. Also, who here thinks that if we actually end up do sending some money to these 3rd world countries, that the money will only go as far as the pockets of the thug dictator who´s in charge?... 35311@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 20 May 2008 17:18:53 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#35158 In response to some and reinforcing other comments posted: Cost of the project is not the issue since America has already spent more than it generates. America cannot govern the world - each country is responsible for their own people - we can assist their governments in making economic decisions. ( of course, since our economists can't figure out the accounting of our own budget, how will our suggestions be viewed) Poverty is bad - helping people is good - anyone remember "Teach a man to fish....." - foriegn governments need to want to learn how to address their issues - just giving their people "fish" will not resolve the long term issue.... 35158@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 18 May 2008 11:13:56 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#35128 And, one may ask, just who is going to finance this endeavor to end the poverty of the whole world? Why, comes the answer, the tax-payers of the US who will contribute to the UN in the form of another tax. The bill does nothing to work on the elimination of poverty in the US. The poor here can fend for them- selves. One world government? Does it sound familiar?... 35128@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 18 May 2008 00:36:21 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#34820 Bravo, Kevin. Who in pluperfect hell decided we need the UN to distribute our donated money? Does anyone remember Kofi, his kid, and purloined millions? For God's sake, catch a clue.... 34820@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 14 May 2008 10:42:22 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#32743 This bill will obligate the USA to Billions of dollars of aid, this money would have to be borrowed and the interest paid by the USA. Until we take care of citizens on the gulf coast, fund our under-funded school system, repair social security and take care of all the other domestic programs effecting everything from our enviroment to our economy, we have no business going outside our borders. When this country becomes fiscally responsible again, then we can look at foriegn aid, but not until our financial house is in order.... 32743@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 21 Apr 2008 20:19:09 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1302.html#31646 yall know nothin' bout politics... 31646@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:46:39 EDT
