This is how it stands after getting through the house. It is likely that the Senate will make some adjustments, but overall, I think this is what we are going to fork out this next year on Foreign Aid, not counting the usual end-of-year supplemental appropriation.

This may or not be interesting to the board, but it is interesting to me. This is something we are all shelling out for. Iraq is not included here, as it is still on a war footing. Count on another billion (minimum) next year for Iraq.
Oh, yeah. The House jerked $25,000 from Saudi Arabia from this bill because they weren't doing enough to fight terrorism. Does anybody think Saudi Arabia is going to notice $25,000?? /ccboard/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
