Your Tax Dollars at Work

Just in case the $300 dollars for every man woman and child in the so called Palestinian territories that we have been sending for the last several decades (yes that is more than $300 million dollars a year, most of which apparently goes to Suha Arafat in Paris), Our intrepid leader decided that they needed an extra $20 MILLION dollars 2 weeks ago while the stimulus bill was being discussed.

That would be $20 million to HAMAS. You know, that group that had a phone bank for him in the Gaza strip, and donated an as yet still undetermined amount to his campaign...

Thanks to my friend Elyriawolf, what follows is the Presidential order signed in january and published in the federal register on February 4th.
