U.S. Aid to Yemen $63 or $150 Million

According to the Christian Science Monitor of Jan. 21, 2010 an article by Caryle Murphy states that U.S. officials plan to spend $63 million in aid to Yemen. This changes when you read the Reuters story of Jan. 21, 2010 by Adam Entous, who states that General Petreaus is asking for $150 million in aid for Yemen.

That is $63 or $150 million that won't go into the U.S. economy but, instead, comes out of taxpayer pockets. The American economy is on the brink of collapse. A record number of home foreclosures, homeless citizens, unemployed citizens stare at the news in disbelief that the government officials of the United States could be so unaware of its own domestic issues.
The U.S. cares not for its own people, the U.S. foreign policy says. Continued bailouts of other nation economies will deal the final death blow to the United States.

Washington D.C. has certainly lost its way. That is up to $150 million dollars that could have been used to stimulate business, or start new business on U.S. soil. $150 million that could have been used to house American citizens or help them stabalize local economies in this new Great Depression.
