Senate Votes to Triple Aid to Pakistan?

The Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009, introduced by Senators John Kerry of Massachusetts, and Dick Lugar of Indiana, authorized $7.5 billion in non-military aid to Pakistan over the next five years to foster economic growth and development, and another $7.5 billion for the following five years. But now the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have decided to triple that amount by adding $1.5 billion per year. What are they thinking? President Barack Obama just said in a speech that the US can't fix the world yet they turn around and do this, give money to another country, who already has enough going to them. The US is sending out more foreign aid instead of using it to help America, our own country. And where is all this money going to come from anyways? Oh yeah, our pockets. The U, and Obama, shouldn't be saying that the US can't fix the world if they are trying to. And the money should be put towards us trying to get out of our debt.
