If Obama pledged to cut foreign aid to 3% of the budget, most Americans would marvel and applaud at the spending reduction and reprioritization on domestic issues. In truth, this would be over a threefold increase. I'm just saying that public perception of the amount of foreign aid we give is untethered from reality. That's all well and good. But no matter how you want to spin it, the expenditure of $100,000,000,000.00 to help other nations fight a problem the very existence of which is debatable is an outrage while Barry O cries Bankrupt. How about $100,000,000,000 to help Santa's flying reindeer with their navigation? Jerk. Leave it to Elvado to pinch pennies when Santa's navigation is at issue. Looking to ruin Christmas, too? |

In your idiotic zeal to argue with and demean me, you miss the point that there is no problem with Santa's reindeer, just like climate change. |

I think we can all agree that at this point, on Dec. 21, the well-being of Santa's reindeer is of paramount importance. |

Fair enough, I'd suggest coal for your stocking, but then you'd need to buy a carbon offset, so maybe just a toy. Merry Christmas.
