Re-posting this in a different way due to previous lack of interest.-BR

As some of you may have already heard, our President has planned cuts to benefits of soldiers and veterans. The proposed cuts will save 1.8 Billion dollars.

Last year the U.S. gave away over 50+ BILLION in Foreign Aid to the rest of the world. Israel received the most aid at 3+ BILLION.

Active-duty military and veterans have already started to vocalize their opposition to these cuts in benefits and pensions that the President has proposed.

What do you think?

Should President Obama cut benefits to Veterans or cut Foreign AID??!!

    I think it's a better idea in general to cut from the foreign aid budget.

    I do want to say, though, that NewsMax is not a reliable source of information. It is a right wing propaganda site.

    Definitely, without a doubt, foreign aid. How about fixing up our own house, first?

    AMEN! Our president needs to hear and read that over and over and over and over and over again, until he DOES it! Of course he won't, but that shouldn't stop We the People from making our voice heard and our will known to the president.

    Our Veterans are treated with enough disregard as it is. Many are homeless. Domestic issues are more important to most of us Americans anyway.

    After the remark that Kazkai made to OVOMIT today about thanking the "taxpayers for their money" Obama needs to get his head out of his butt and quit kissing so many butts and start THINKING OF AMERICA AND TO HELL WITH HIS FOREIGN AID.
    Once these countries realize that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH maybe they will start thinking of other ways to blackmale the world.

    He should cut foreign aid and benefits to those that have never served in the military before even considering cutting military pay. Our soldiers are not paid much for their sacrifices and should be paid what is due long before your normal lazy able bodies person. That is for sure.

    Yeah, and cut out any perks and exemptions they and illegal immigrants have from the laws that the rest of us have to follow, so that maybe they'll go out and get REAL jobs, jobs that involve actual WORK, and stop lining their pockets with OUR money and go out and earn their OWN, same as we have to do.

    Keep foreign aid to Israel, but cut all other countries off, especially the Islamic countries that hate us.

    It is absolute nonsense, not to mention suicidal, to keep giving foreign aid to countries that hate our guts, because getting our money or our business will not make them quit hating us; it will only whet their appetites to get more out of us, until we have nothing left to give.

    That is precisely the way the falsely so-called "Palestinians" deal with Israel: they say "Give us this or we'll kill you", and Israel gives it to them, then they say "Now give us THAT and we'll leave you alone", and Israel gives them that, but they DON'T leave Israel alone: they come back and say "Now give us such-and-such if you want to live", and so on, until Israel has nothing left to give them, and then they kill all the Jews in Israel.

    They are never satisfied with ANY concessions Israel gives them, because they will only be satisfied when all the Jews are dead, because that has been their goal all along.

    Start with the U.N. and get the list of all those countries that vote against us and if the names match.. cut them off. While we are at it, cut the freebies for illegals and start getting pushing the notion that AMERICANS should be the first on the list always! The vets deserve everything for their service. Veteran's kids whose parent(s) died or were severely wounded in combat should get free college tuition and reduced tuition for the rest That's what I think. .

    I cannot vote on this poll due to the way it was worded. Obama is NOT president, he's just an illegal squatter at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in DC that needs to be evicted (with extreme prejudice if necessary) as soon as possible. Cutting foreign aid would be a good thing since it is just a way of bribing foreign countries (who don't have the decency to STAY bribed).

    Cut the freaking foreign aid. We don't need to buy friends. That's a sign of weakness. He went to law school but has obviously forgotten his Latin: Quid Pro Quo (this for that). He should tell other countries "I'll do this if you do that" not just give our money away and get nothing in return.

    I think all foreign aid should be cut and suspended until the national debt is paid down. It's called "living within your means."

    Cutting veteran's benefits while handing out billions in foreign aid is an act of treason.
