Open Letter to Congress, both Republicans and Democrats,...and especially President Obama. And this is coming on the heels of the Obama Administration saying they will give Egypt 16 F-16 fighter aircraft and a large number of M-1 Abrams tanks. Remember, this is to the Morsi regime who said they only have two enemies: Israel and the United States. This is ludicous!
No matter how you spin it, or yes, even lie about it, this Country is broke. I know some of you will say we have enough money coming in from revenues, read taxes, that we can pay our bills. Oh how deceitful you are! This only counts for the some of the interest on our debt and not any of the principals, and we continue to borrow money to pay for entitlement programs while social security and Medicare are going broke.
If you really want to pay for entitlements then I suggest we quit giving our enemies the tax payers money. I know of no one who approves of foreign aid to terrorists, murders, dictators, drug traffickers and such.
In the last few years we have provided direct cash aid to the following countries, which should stop immediately.
Haiti- $1,400,000,000
Hamas - $351,000,000
Pakistan- $2,000,000,000
Libya $1,450,000,000
Egypt- $397,000,000
Mexico- $622,000,000
Russia- $380,000,000
Haiti- $1,400,000,000
Jordan- $463,000,000
Kenya- $816,000,000
Sudan- $870,000,000
Nigeria- $456,000,000
Uganda- $451,000,000
Congo- $359,000,000
Ethiopia- $981,000,000
South Africa- $566,000,000
Senegal- $698,000,000
Mozambique- $404,000,000
Zambia- $331,000,000
Kazakhstan- $304,000,000
Iraq- $1,080,000,000
Tanzania- $554,000,000
While the above funding totals a pitiful amount compared to the National debt that you have run up,...presently over $16.4 Trillion,...it's a sad fact that we give this money to these mutt countries and they continue to run us down in the United Nations, voting against us and even supporting or cheering terrorist attacks on this country or our people.
Besides,....eliminating tax payer funds for even one of the above countries would pay the salary shortcoming for most of our government, sans the military.
Our retired seniors living on a fixed income, children going hungry in this Country, decayed infrastructure, there are many better targets of our money than to give to our enemies.
Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Golf Pro to Leave California Due to High Taxes
The Christian Science Monitor has published a sory about Golf Pro Phil Mickelson who is hinting at a move away from California, perhaps the United States and maybe even away from golf as he seeks to escape punitive tax rates.
"It's been an interesting offseason," Mickelson said Sunday after the final round of the Humana Challenge. "And I'm going to have to make some drastic changes. I'm not going to jump the gun and do it right away, but I will be making some drastic changes."
The 42-year-old said he would talk in more detail about his plans before his hometown Farmers Insurance Open, the San Diego-area event that starts Thursday at Torrey Pines.
"I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to do yet," Mickelson said. "I'll probably talk about it more in depth next week. I'm not going to jump the gun, but there are going to be some. There are going to be some drastic changes for me because I happen to be in that zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state and it doesn't work for me right now."
In November, California voters approved the first statewide tax increase since 2004. Mickelson lives in Rancho Santa Fe.
"If you add up all the federal and you look at the disability and the unemployment and the Social Security and the state, my tax rate's 62, 63 percent," Mickelson said. "So I've got to make some decisions on what I'm going to do."
Last year, Mickelson flirted with becoming a part owner of the San Diego Padres, the baseball team that sold for $800 million in August. He was asked Sunday if there was a correlation between the tax increases and what happened to the Padres' deal.
"Absolutely," Mickelson said.

Hilliary Clinton's Benghazi Testimony
Well, Madame Sectretary, it makes a butt load of difference!!
Your failed management of the State Department,........ ......ignoring cables from Ambassador Stevens that would have alerted you to a constantly degraded safety environment for American employees and begging for more security,........you not doing whatever you could to get a rescue response when the terrorist action started,...... and no one believes that the U.S. government, from the President through the SecDef to you, did not know within the first hour of the attack that it was not terrorists,.............
Yet you and your U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice lied about the attacks and the cause. We fully expect the President and his propaganda staff and the lame stream media to lie as they have done on a daily basis the last four years, but to have you, Madame Secretary, lie about Benghazi makes you look arrogant and incompetent.
Oh,..the fake crying over the deaths of Americans?.....good try but you are not fooling anyone.
Senator Rand Paul said it best...."Had I been President and found out that you did not read the cables from your Ambassador, I would have relieved you from your post."
