$76 million. For the Somali National Army.
Just imagine if that money was used for our veterans and current military personel instead. That's $76 million thrown away.

WTF? $18 million would go a long way in this country to help out our citizens.

EVERY penny of that money has ended up in the wrong pockets. Foreign aid has to end.

This is why Foreign Aid to Third World Hell Holes is a huge, and total waste. The War Lords, and the Corrupt leaders, and elites steal it, and become rich. The people continue to suffer.

And yet congress can't see anything wrong with that.
Our general fund, which is derived from taxpayer dollars has become congress's slush fund. With that generous donation to China, I wonder which congressmen and senators derived benefit?
Funneling money in the form of "foreign aid" to these 3rd world shithole countries, who have made it clear they hate our country, has to stop.
