    Hawaii still can’t get help, but the lobby funded politicians sure know how to flip a switch and give billions in foreign aid. God forbid they think about tax paying Americans they answer to


    Just ****ing disgusting. The crazy thing is some people have been brain washed into thinking it’s a good thing (and probably still think Iraq was too)

    If there was a way to eliminate the federal government and its spending the standard of living of every American would TRIPLE!

    this is from Hawaii Public Radio, https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/l...money-for-clean-water-infrastructure-projects

    • Hawaiʻi gets $50M in federal funds for clean water infrastructure projects
    • Hawaiʻi awarded $19M for Waiawa Pearl Highlands pedestrian bridge
    • US Dept of Transportation is awarding Hawaiʻi $3.3 billion in grants to help 132 communities
      • develop or improve infrastructure connecting people to jobs, health care and other essential resources.

    It's quite obvious. Democrats turn their backs once their vote is secured. Why pay more than once for a vote when you can go buy fresh new ones.

    This is a frequent trope. Actually foreign aid makes up less than 2% of US Budget.
    https://www.crfb.org/blogs/breakdow...r (FY) 2022,percent of total federal spending.
    Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, the federal government obligated a total of $70.4 billion in foreign aid, about 1 percent of total spending. This share is consistent with trends over the past 20 years, with foreign aid obligations averaging less than 2 percent of total federal spending.
