And Speaking of Buying Your Friends...

My last posting had to do with how much we're paying to make sure we don't have a fuster cluck on our southern border.  

And how we're getting zilch for our money...

I mentioned that we're paying Meheeeeeeeeeeeko more than $320 Million Dollars A Year in Federal Aid, for some reason, and getting pretty much bupkus in return.  They are not only not helping us fix our illegal immigration problem, they are contributing to it!  I think they're pissed at The Donald for planning to axe NAFTA and trying to get them pay for The Wall.  So even though we're sending them wheelbarrows full of cash every year, just like we do for another 107 countries throughout the World, they're not fulfilling their end of the bargain.  

That got me to thinking how much we're sending to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras every year.  They're the "Central American countries" from which people are fleeing. Through Meheeeeeeeeeeeko.  To America.  And thus causing us all this trouble.  Here's the answer:

Guatemala:  $297,000,000 a year!

Honduras:  $128,000,000 a year!

El Salvador:  $277,000,000 a year!

So, my friends, we, the good and generous and charitable citizens of the United States of America are ponying up more than $700,000,000 a year in Federal Aid to these three countries.  And these three countries are so mistreating their citizens - we're told - that they are fleeing by the tens of thousands, to America, by way of Meheeeeeeeeeeeeeeko, our super good friend, which we are paying $320 Million a Year to help make sure this stuff doesn't happen.  

That's over $One Billion Dollars a Year we're giving to needy countries so they can feed and clothe and house and educate their poor, who are thanking us by sending us their poor, so we can feed, clothe, house and educate them.

Are we the very dumbest bunch of stupid fools on the planet, or what?
