One $billion aid package to Georgia

Can someone explain this to me? $1,000,000,000 to a former Soviet country??? I know the US wants Georgia to continue to be a free republic BUT where is the $$$ coming from? I'm not posting a link. It's in the news but you do have to search just a little for it....My head is spinning and this is mindboggling. Funny how this has not been mentioned yet at the Republican convention. I'm fed up with both sides.

Oil pipeline and Coastal access.
Want the Iron Curtain back?

Don't care bout Iron Curtain. That's their issue. I'm sure they will still sell the oil to the high bidder. I can't care if Georgia or Russia gets to cash the checks. But where is the $illion coming from?

We are borrowing it from the Chinese of course, just like we do for Iraq, Afghanistan, the sub prime mess, New Orleans, and the public works project nearest you. I read somewhere the Chinese buy $2 or $3 billion in Treasury notes from the U.S. every working day. See how simple that is? Lets just keep letting the Chinese bankroll our artificially high standard of living for ever. I like it, they will never figure it out, will they?

$1 Billion is pocket change to the Government to give to Georgia.
$10 Billion/month Iraq...
$30 Billion/month for oil imports...
Again I say if we were energy self sufficient we could tell everyone to go screw...
But we must play the oil and money game to protect our foreign interests...
As they say follow the money...
See where it goes...
Do not get me wrong....
We are spending ourselves into a very bad place....
We are selling ourselves to The Devil....

All we are doing is buying a friendship with Georgia. Turn off the money and see if they remain.

Sorry Cape.........I can't afford any more mouths to feed. (All my money is being sent to Iraq & Georgia!)

Actually this is good for getting us buds in the Ukrain and the other soviet breakaway provinces. They have tons of oil, and Russia still uses the pipelines that go through them. They are good for us to have as friends. Besides it helps repair our bad world wide image.
