One third of this went to Egypt and Israel.
Both of these countries have universal health care.
Much of this money that we distribute to other nations is "lost" stolen or wasted.
The largest percentage of this money goes to fund foreign militaries.
There are many instances that large sums have ended up in the private bank accounts of these countries leadership.
Is it to much to ask that what MY tax dollars fund be used to help citizens of the United States.
We need to take care of our own before we take care of the rest of the world.

Support for repeal of the health care reform bill is at its highest level in over a month, while the number of voters who believe repeal will be good for the economy has reached a new high.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 60% at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care reform law, while 36% oppose repeal.
Those numbers include 50% who Strongly Favor repeal and 26% who Strongly Oppose it. Platinum Members can see state-by-state results from across the country.
The number that favors repeal is up five points from last week and is the highest level measured since July 1. The number that Strongly Favors repeal also ties the highest level ever - first measured in mid-April.
Overall support for repeal has ranged from 52% to 63% since the law was passed by Congress in March.
Fifty percent (50%) of voters now say repeal of the bill will be good for the economy. That's up six points from the end of July and is the highest result found since the question was first posed in April. Twenty-six percent (26%) say repeal of the bill would be bad for the economy, while another 15% say it will have no impact.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on August 13-14, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95%level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
But voters are not as convinced that repeal would lead to the creation of more jobs. While 33% say a repeal of the bill would lead to more job creation, 30% disagree. Thirty-seven percent (37%) more are not sure. Still, the number of voters who believe the law's repeal would lead to increased job creation is also the highest level measured yet.
Thirty-nine percent (39%) of voters believe it is at least somewhat likely the bill will be repealed, showing no change from July. Forty-six percent (46%) say the law is not likely to be repealed. This includes 15% who say repeal is Very Likely and eight percent 98%) who say it is Not At All Likely to happen.
Fifty percent (50%) believe the health care reform plan will be bad for the economy, down slightly from results found over the past several weeks. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say the law will be good for the economy, the highest result found since mid-July.
Republicans continue to strongly favor repeal of the health care bill, while a majority of Democrats oppose repeal. Most voters not affiliated with either major political party also favor the bill's repeal.
Nearly three-out-of-four voters in the Political Class oppose repeal of the bill, while a strong majority of Mainstream voters favor repeal.
Separate polling shows that 54% of U.S. voters oppose the requirement in the new federal health care bill that every American must buy or obtain health insurance. Forty-three percent (43%) favor the requirement, which was on the losing end of a vote in Missouri last Tuesday and is being challenged in court by a number of states.

Throughout history, the major civilizations major religions condemned homosexuality.1 Until 1961 homosexual acts were illegal throughout America.
Gays claim that the "prevailing attitude toward homosexuals in the U.S. and many other countries is revulsion and hostility....for acts and desires not harmful to anyone."3 The American Psychological Association and the American Public Health Association assured the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986 that "no significant data show that engaging in...oral and anal sex, results in mental or physical dysfunction."4
What Homosexuals Do

The major surveys on homosexual behavior are summarized below. Two things stand out 1) homosexuals behave similarly world-over, and 2) as Harvard Medical Professor, Dr. William Haseltine,33 noted in 1993, the "changes in sexual behavior that have been reported to have occurred in some groups have proved, for the most part, to be transient. For example, bath houses and sex clubs in many cities have either reopened or were never closed."

ORAL SEX Homosexuals fellate almost all of their sexual contacts (and ingest semen from about half of these). Semen contains many of the germs carried in the blood. Because of this, gays who practice oral sex verge on consuming raw human blood, with all its medical risks. Since the penis often has tiny lesions (and often will have been in unsanitary places such as a rectum), individuals so involved may become infected with hepatitis A or gonorrhea (and even HIV and hepatitis B). Since many contacts occur between strangers (70% of gays estimated that they had had sex only once with over half of their partners17,27), and gays average somewhere between 106 and 1105 different partners/year, the potential for infection is considerable.
RECTAL SEX Surveys indicate that about 90% of gays have engaged in rectal intercourse, and about two-thirds do it regularly. In a 6-month long study of daily sexual diaries,3 gays averaged 110 sex partners and 68 rectal encounters a year.
Rectal sex is dangerous. During rectal intercourse the rectum becomes a mixing bowl for 1) saliva and its germs and/or an artificial lubricant, 2) the recipient's own feces, 3) whatever germs, infections or substances the penis has on it, and 4) the seminal fluid of the inserter. Since sperm readily penetrate the rectal wall (which is only one cell thick) causing immunologic damage, and tearing or bruising of the anal wall is very common during anal/penile sex, these substances gain almost direct access to the blood stream. Unlike heterosexual intercourse (in which sperm cannot penetrate the multilayered vagina and no feces are present),7 rectal intercourse is probably the most sexually efficient way to spread hepatitis B, HIV syphilis and a host of other blood-borne diseases.
Tearing or ripping of the anal wall is especially likely with "fisting," where the hand and arm is inserted into the rectum. It is also common when "toys" are employed (homosexual lingo for objects which are inserted into the rectum--bottles, carrots, even gerbils8). The risk of contamination and/or having to wear a colostomy bag from such "sport" is very real. Fisting was apparently so rare in Kinsey's time that he didn't think to talk about it. By 1977, well over a third of gays admitted to doing it. The rectum was not designed to accommodate the fist, and those who do so can find themselves consigned to diapers for life. ]]> Health Care NaturalBorn http://www.politicalforum.com/health-care/144676-medical-consequences-what-homosexuals-do.html
