Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That’s 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.

The current estimate by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs of cumulative total U.S. direct aid to Israel is $123.202 billion, updating the figure in our November 2008 issue. Because parts of U.S. aid to Israel are buried in the budgets of various U.S. agencies or in a form not easily quantified—such as the early disbursement of aid, giving Israel a direct benefit of interest income and the U.S. Treasury a corresponding loss—it is virtually impossible to arrive at an exact dollar amount.

Whoa, Noodle. Lots of research? Halliburton stands out.

[mom]

Did he had a hard time, I don't know. I do know I had a hard time reading through your (?) question. I don't remember hearing Israel at all but I didn't watch the whole thing. I think I heard about some of the people in New Orleans talking about the new flood gates failing them because they made it flood in other places than the last time. I don't know if it was Obama, Bush or the Corp of Engineers that put those in. Poor farmer must have not recovered since Katrina and I bet he's mad. And if it was about the crab fishing, that happens with every hurricane. Obama is great but he still isn't God and I think that is a problem for God to solve.

As for Iraq, you are aware we are out of there, thank goodness. However, there are many years to pay for and many deaths and injuries too. It was going on for a good while, you know. Since spending wasn't prepared for in the budget and had to be added, that will take some doing. Hafta pay your bills, you know and we did give up a lot to Halliburton and friends.

It is possible there are a good many Americans murdered every day by illegals but I doubt the number is 12. Here in Texas they kill one or two every night, usually a girlfriend or wife or drinking buddy or friend they get mad at and sometimes just because it happened when they fired up in the air. Most of them had nothing to do with 9-11 either, maybe drugs. A lot of them are drug deals gone bad. I look at the news every morning to see how close they have come to me.

Yeah that debt thing just keeps rolling along. Can't stop paying the mastercard though, or the military, medicaid, schools, interest, education, government workers, va benefits, health, international affairs, energy and environment, science, labor, agriculture and oil subsidies, grants. I know, I know, I must have forgotten some of them. Oh and that Israeli aid, that has been going on for a while too. I first noticed it in the sixties when some of them had bought Israeli bonds instead of American bonds. Do you need any more?

Let me tell you, that House really needs to start doing something cause it is really backing up. That is their job you know, to oversee the budget.
