Thanks to Tom Coburn for at least attempting to shine some light on this insanity.

The killer in this report is that China receives over 27 million dollars in foreign aid from us and to add to that incredible fact, some of the aid is designated as "Higher Education, Human Rights, Good Governance, PRIVATE SECTOR COMPETIVENESS AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY" Are you kidding me!!
....[The Congressional Research Service released a report last month, a copy of which Fox News exclusively obtained, showing that in fiscal year 2010, the latest year that data was available, the U.S. handed out a total of $1.4 billion to 16 foreign countries that held at least $10 billion in Treasury securities, including China ($27.2 million), Brazil ($25 million), Russia ($71.5 million), India ($126.6 million), Mexico ($316.7 million) and Egypt ($255.7 million).
China is the largest holder of U.S. Treasury bonds with $1.1 trillion as of March, according to the Treasury Department. Brazil held $193.5 billion, Russia had $127.8 billion, India owned $39.8 billion, Mexico held $28.1 billion and Egypt had $15.3 billion.]....

This is my version of one of the tables in the report to emphasize the madness:
| Country | Sector | Assistance |
| China | HIV/AIDS | 7,000,000 |
| | Higher Education | 200,000 |
| | Social Services | 4,000,000 |
| | Rule of Law and Human Rights | 3,909,000 |
| | Good Governance | 2,308,000 |
| | Environment | 7,883,000 |
| | Private Sector Competiveness | 1,200,000 |
| | Economic Opportunity | 700,000 |
So much money to countries who really do not like us and are either working with our enemies or are directly attempting to undermine us. The bottom line is that with this administration insisting that we RAISE the debt ceiling while we are on the verge of bankruptcy and buying our own debt by printing money, we are giving aid to a number of countries including the very country who will soon overtake us as the dominant economy.
Where does this end? I hope soon but if not then in 2012, because after that there will be no future to look forward to.
