According to recent reports, President Obama has decided to give 195 million taxpayer dollars to Syria to celebrate the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr.
“Michelle and I send our warmest greetings to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr here in the United States and around the world,” President Obama said in an official White House release, “During the past month, Muslims have honored their faith through prayer and service, fasting and time spent with loved ones.”
“To help the many Syrians in need this Eid al-Fitr,” the President continues, “the United States is providing an additional $195 million in food aid and other humanitarian aid, bringing our humanitarian contribution to the Syrian people to over $1 billion since the crisis began.”
Once again it appears Obama is unilaterally deciding what is best for the United States. What do you think? Are there better ways to spend American tax dollars?
This is outrageous. Our veterans benefits are being cut. Social Security recipients don't get cost of living increase. Obama will be taking a multimillion dollar vacation. Every city has homeless people wondering its streets. There are 40 million unemployed Americans. We should take care of our own people before spending $195 million on foreigners.
