    Rice, better than most, should know that international welfare is no better than domestic welfare. We have eliminated domestic welfare and now we should eliminate international welfare also!

    I am not at all surprised that the Bush administration is attempting to procure a "slush fund" that they will have total discretion to use. It is like most of the administrations actions, taken in the cover of night so there would be no negative press, no opposition, and no accountability.

    $5.6 Billion to help people in other countries and our Social Security is going down the drain. Why don't we just give all our money to other countries and we can all starve in The Land Of The Free. These ungrateful people don't give a darn about us so why do we give them so much? They rob us blind with sky high oil prices, why is this money not going to help rebuild and aid those countries? Seems to me that the Middle East has enough of our money to help themselves. LET'S GET TO HELPING OURSELVES.
