    Correction: The US Government finally released the first part of a $400 million aid package Wednesday to support one drug cartel in their fight against other drug cartels.

    Mexico is so corrupt it ain't even funny...

    Why are we giving money to a country that actively encourages and heavily assists it's citizens in breaking our laws. Why are we giving money to a country that sends it's troops over our borders to escort drug shipments and smuggle illegal alien?

    The civilian cartels and the government cartels?
    I think our gubmint calls it
    Their War On Drugs.
    If the drugs don't kill us,
    the war on 'em will.

    Four hundred MILLION tax-payer dollars sent to Meh-Hee-Ko to
    prevent drug dealers from killin' each other, so the gubmints can
    catch 'em and put 'em in jail --- at tax-payer's expense.
    Hmmmmmmmmm

    Is it a war on drugs?
    Or a war on tax-payers?

    lets see.. a few Army units deployed along the border.. orders to shoot anyone attempting to cross.. that should take care of the smugglers and such...

    good training for the troops and it prevents drugs and such from making it here by those means.

    What they should do is; instead of giving this money (and the $700,000,000,000 to the banks and the $34,000,000,000 to the Big 3) let the companies and Mexico pound salt, hire all the people that will end up jobless due to the bank and auto company restructuring (which is what would happen ... those industries aren't going to "go away") and fill up Customs, Immigration and the Border Patrol, finish the fence, round up all the illegals and deport them and then retrain everyone when they're no longer needed for those positions (just not as truck drivers :biggrin_2554:).





    Nah, it would never work ... not enough in kickbacks. :biggrin_25525:
