Obama Stimulus Dished Out Hundreds Of Millions To FILIPINO Vets

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Daily Caller:

President Obama’s $757 billion economic stimulus program was promoted in 2009 as a way to jump-start the U.S. economy by injecting tax dollars that would stimulate new jobs and growth, especially through spending on new infrastructure like roads and bridges.

 

But hundreds of millions of dollars spent in the program went instead to elderly Filipinos, much of it virtually guaranteed never to make its way back to the U.S. economy.

 

Tucked away in the stimulus was a provision to pay $9,000 each to residents of the Philippines who fought alongside the U.S. in World War II. Those who had become U.S. citizens since the war got $15,000. The Philippines is a Pacific nation that was a U.S. Territory, beginning in 1898 when it was acquired during the Spanish-American War. The Philippines became independent in 1946.
