Such Fantastic Magnanimity

Did you hear Barack Hussein Obama is going to provide Greece US resources to bail her out of her financial crisis? So far as I am aware, the American taxpayer was not consulted about this generosity with our money. Nor can I figure how the US will fund such assistance as we are in such dire financial straits ourselves. I imagine average Americans will not understand how easing austerity conditions in Athens improves lives in Albany, Albuquerque, or Austin, particularly since it makes it that much more likely that austerity conditions will have to be imposed here in the good ole USA. Once again, American citizens find themselves funding what we do not want with money we do not have, helping people we do not know, who will only resent us for it somewhere down the line.
