(62,325 posts)we can no longer afford school lunches for our own children right here. Sorry if Americans are not too happy about more billions, appearing apparently out of nowhere, are once again being 'invested' without our consent or even referendum on how, since apparently WE DO have money after all, it SHOULD be spent. And just who is going to profit from this next investment? Certainly no ordinary American has benefited from the billions 'invested' in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and wherever else it is being invested.
Surely you know that Bush's interference in all those nations, and his 'investment' of our tax dollars helped create the deficit they are now trying to 'fix' by taking even more from the American People, mostly the poor, the elderly and dependent children.
So forgive me if I have an interest in how OUR money is being spent, and WHY, and WHO is going to profit from it?
Crimea does not recognize the unelected government in Ukraine and especially after their move to ban the Russian Language which is not just spoken in Crimea, but in large parts of Eastern Ukraine.
That was a stupid, authoritarian move, but was enough to frighten the people into leaving Ukraine.
Maybe they should have waited for the election, dispensed with the deadly protests, and Crimea would still be a part of Ukraine, the election would still have been in a few months, and the people would have been able to express THEIR views on all of this.
Since the election was coming up, and moved up, what was the rush to unseat the legitimately elected government?
