A ‘Marshall Plan For Mexico’?

Sending welfare to a crack house

A really bad idea has been gaining currency among America’s political class: a “Marshall Plan for Mexico”—a massive transfer of U.S. http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=301 money to Mexico in the guise of foreign aid. A Google search shows more than 200,000 references.

Don’t think that the scheme is just moldering on the back benches. Former Mexico Presidente Fox, on his book pander tour, suggested that exact policy just last week.

“Citing the evolution of the European Union from the U.S.-introduced Marshall Plan after World War II, Fox suggested a similar project in North America.”

(“North America” is Fox’s favorite new term for uniting the continent in a way that pipelines massive funds to Mexico by ripping off the American taxpayer. Fox also removed any hope that this proposed North American Union was a delusion of loony right-wing conspiracy theorists by admitting to it openly on CNN’s Larry King Show—including his desire that a continental currency replace the national currencies.)

And, incredibly, substantial foreign aid for Mexico is being prepared right now by the Democratic Congress, in concert with Mexichurian Candidate Dubya’s White House. They want to send over a billion dollars in military aid to fight the increasingly powerful drug cartels that run large areas of Mexico. Council on Foreign Relations Mexico expert Shannon O’Neil admitted in a Nov. 6 CFR interview that the idea for the Merida Initiative (as the funding package is called at the globalist CFR) came from Mexico’s new Presidente, Felipe Calderon.

O’Neil further remarked that the proposal has been kept unusually secret, not going through the usual committee process, and guessed that  the State Department was busy “hammering out these negotiations” with the Mexican Government, and “trying to deal with the sensitivities of Mexico.”

The Washington Post called the deal a “secretly negotiated aid package.”

Nice that the Bush administration is more interested in begging Mexico to take our money than informing the American people how our funds are being spent!

Add this scheme to the growing list of Bush actions taken against Americans, for Mexicans.

Any aid to Mexico is lunacy for several reasons. We shouldn’t be further indebting ourselves to one enemy (http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2113) to give military equipment to another enemy (Mexico), which happens to be very corrupt as well as wealthy enough to finance its own internal police operations.

Remember the national debt? Our shared credit card recently clicked over another digit to hit 9 trillion dollars. But Washington keeps on spending money we don’t have in ways that make bad problems http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1805.

And aiding the http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2153. The dangerous Zeta cartel enforcers were originally trained by US Special Forces to battle the drug gangs. Then the Zetas went over to the better-paying bad guys.
