Does it seem strange to anyone that Hosni Mubarak is worth 50 to 70 billion dollars and the United States sends Egypt 1.5 billion dollars in aid each year? Mubarak could pony up that amount for 10 years and still have 35 to 55 billion dollars left. So the U.S. borrows money upping our National Debt to line the pockets of a crook. We need a drastic change in Washington although it might be too late. Borrowing money from China to give it to Egypt is hard to understand. China is our biggest purchaser of debt, which is also getting dangerous.
