Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:
Should we be borrowing money from China to turn around and give it to the Muslim Brotherhood?
Given that we are running massive deficits and are drowning in more
than $14 trillion in debt, and despite not knowing who will rule Egypt
until its election this fall, this strange strategy may be the end
result given President Obama’s announcement that he is committing $2
billion to Egypt’s “new government.” It’s part of a $20 billion foreign
aid package laid out with the Group of 8 countries in Europe today.
Now, given that Egypt has a history of corruption when it comes to
utilizing American aid, it is doubtful that the money will really help
needy Egyptian people. Couple that with the fact that the Muslim
Brotherhood is organized to have a real shot at taking control of
Egypt’s government, and one has to ask why we would send money (that we
don’t have) into unknown Egyptian hands?
Throwing borrowed money around is not sound economic policy. And
throwing borrowed money around the developing world is not sound foreign
policy. Foreign assistance should go to American allies that need it
and appreciate it, and for humanitarian purposes when it can truly make a
difference.
Considering the Obama Administration’s continued strange strategies
on the economy and foreign policy have us counting down the days to the
next election. November 2012 can’t come soon enough.
