In response to again be shown to be woefully uninformed--Malibu Golden Dawn posts the words to a 50 year old pop song.

You and NW provide endless amusement. You remind me of Danny Kaye playing the court jester.

Understanding why means understanding a number: sixty billion. In dollars, that’s the low valuation of how much U.S. weaponry the Obama administration has allowed to be sold to Saudi Arabia, according to Bruce Reidel, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution think tank who closely watches the Kingdom.

In fact, the figure could actually be as high as $90 billion, Reidel noted in an event at Brookings Thursday. In comparison, President George W. Bush approved $20 billion for the same purpose.

It’s true that Obama has risked offending the Saudis in pursuing what he thinks is the right path for the U.S. — by concluding an international agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear ambitions, for instance, or by saying Arab allies of the U.S. should do more for their region’s security, rather than being “free riders“ of American support. He has also noted that the Kingdom and its fellow Sunni Arab-ruled states should recognize the risks of consistently crushing civil society and dissent, particularly among their massive populations of young people.

The trouble is that time and again, he’s tried to make up for these apparent slights to Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations in the Persian Gulf by granting them access to the newest, shiniest killing machines.

That approach, one of the most consistent parts of the Obama presidency, has had two major effects.

The first is that it’s enriched U.S. weapons manufacturers, which have made $33 billion from deals with the Gulf in just the past 11 months, according to the State Department. Companies like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Boeing are thrilled — and defense industry analysts suggest the good times are just beginning.

The second effect is that it’s sent the Saudis a mixed message. By indicatin

I think that all of us are always following the money for whatever the needs like cars, cloths, being able to purchase from pharmacies, foods getting famous or whatever else. or at least most of us... and most of the time...

Icahn endorsed Donald Trump for the 2016 US presidential election. He also announced the formation of a super PAC pledging $150 million to push for corporate tax reform. Icahn will target inversions, which occur when corporations leave the U.S. to take advantage of lower tax rates elsewhere.[67]

Billionaires lining up for Trump aren’t sure where to send their money

Quote:
“I haven’t heard from anybody,” said Dallas investor Doug Deason, whose father, billionaire technology entrepreneur Darwin Deason, gave large sums to super PACs allied with former Texas governor Rick Perry and Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.). “I think they’re just really unorganized. They need to get on it.”

Quote:

On Saturday night, Trump retweeted a link to a New York Times report that Adelson is willing to spend as much as $100 million to boost his bid.
