Stop throwing away taxpayers' money

To the Editor:

A letter to Rep. Mike Michaud:

What is your position on giving money to the current government in Egypt? We have been giving that nation two billion dollars a year for more than 20 years.

But our treaty obligations ended when the administration of Hosni Mubarak ended. So we are no longer obligated to send them money (money that is borrowed from Red China).

Egypt is now governed by the Muslim Brotherhood which has ties with radical Muslim terrorists. They allowed our embassy to be sacked and our flag burned.

They should not be receiving one dime of our money, especially since our own government is 16 trillion dollars in debt.

So please speak out loud and strong against such throwing away of the taxpayer's money.
