So they don't have money to give us healthcare but can afford to give Saudi Arabia Guns ?


Many ill and dying Americans will sleep better knowing that at least the Saudi's can shoot someone or blow them up



P.S.- Thanks for not calling me stupid when I posted this LOL. Maybe I need a nap. My brain completely blanked out that they sold the guns

And bin Laden?
So, we'll trust them to not use those weapons against us?

Shipping guns over there and you really don't know who will end up with them. Also, if and when Saudi Arabia and Iran begin to kill each other why should we be the ones giving them weapons to do it?

but not mental health. Great idea...give mentally ill people more access to guns and terrorists more guns that we pay for with our taxes. Brilliant.

I wonder how much of the savings gets added to the cost of something Jared's company sells to them.
