(32,324 posts)When our Fed Governmental officials stated that our budget deficit was far too high, and that our communities need to now learn to live under total austerity.
Summer 2010 - Geithner tells California Governor that a 20 billion dollar loan made out on behalf of Calif.'s 37 million people would be unacceptable, as it would add to the deficit.
Over the next thirteen months, some 255 billion dollars of military hardware were given outright to leaders of the UAE and the State of Israel.
That 255 billions of dollars should have been allocated for the states here in the US that were facing budget problems, not to helping out war- mongering forces. (And don't forget - our budget problems and the total economic collapse of 2008 were due to the house of cards that Geithner and his buddies on Wall Street created, and then presented to the American people as a sound economy, that is, the housing bubble of 1996 to 2006.)
