CAIRO – Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday the United States will give Egypt $250 million in additional aid , following President Mohammed Morsi's pledges for political and economic reforms

Kerry cited Egypt's "extreme needs" and Morsi's "assurances that he plans to complete the IMF process" when he told the president that the U.S. would provide $190 million immediately followed up with $450 million in the near future "in a good-faith effort to help the Egyptian people at this difficult time."

Separately, the top U.S. diplomat announced $60 million for a new fund for "direct support of key engines of democratic change," including Egypt's entrepreneurs and its young people. Kerry held out the prospect of U.S. assistance to this fund climbing to an additional $300 million by year's end.

800,000 military furloughs have been sent out. Much more will slowly trickle out over the duration of the sequester. MAYBE not as bad as either side demonized, surely much more bad than the American people deserve.

We will see it in slow motion.

800,000 military furloughs have been sent out.

While Obama gives the Muslim Brotherhood another $250 million in spare change he had laying around and promises another $600 million more before the end of the year, all on top of the 1 billion in aid scheduled to be given to them, not to forget the F16's and over 200 tanks Obama expideted delivery of, all on America's dime.

One of Obama's aides let it slip that Obama's 14 year old daughter won't be taking Spring Break in Mexico this year, this year her and her friends are heading the French Alps to party.

Again I ask why would be believe we don't have money to pay for fire fighters and teachers?

Military reports that staff will take ONE DAY A WEEK OFF at almost all locations... Hardly an impact, nothing like Obama promised to screw us with.

This is exactly the reason this debate and most politics in general are bullshit and people are apathetic.

No conservatives ever complain about the zillions we send Israel. Ever.

Good thread.

800,000 1 day per week furloughs. 20% reduction in production and wages for 800,000 people. Equivalent to the loss of 160,000 jobs.

and that is just the immediate military losses.

ad liar leroy call it no big deal.

I think it's time for liar leroy to lose his income, get cancer, and loos his health insurance. Only then do some malignant idiots get it.

and another idiot who things that since it didn't all happen on day 1 it will have no effect.

True, the top 1% will not suffer at all.

A bunch of narcissist morons, one and all.

As the Obama Administration is releasing VIOLENT ILLEGALS claiming it's necessary for Sequester cuts, they order $50 MILLION in new uniforms....

Isn't it odd that the $50 million contract to design and make the new TSA uniforms was give to Ikram Goldman out of Chicago. Goggle "Ikram Goldman and Obama" now what would be the odds of that?
