I wonder how much the Obama administration will pay secretly to Afghanistan to appease that country so we can remain in there, where we really aren’t wanted.

I say we spend our tax money helping laid-off workers get jobs, secure our own economy, and give students financial help with college.

It awes me that Americans are not told the entire truth, and here again we are shielded from megabucks being given to calm a volatile situation that we have been in way too long.

Americans need to start asking their elected officials some direct questions so we know the real amounts. Let’s get our priorities straight and help our own people in America. We need to get our great nation back on the track of prosperity.
