Obama Spreading the Wealth to Muslim Countries for Technology

In case the president hasn’t noticed, we’re broke. We’re worse than broke. We’re about $13 trillion in debt. Oh, but silly little facts like that don’t stand in the way of Obummer spreading the wealth around. His latest folly with our money is a Muslim techonolgy fund bankrolled by the US taxpayer, via loans from China.

The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.

The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.

The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will “catalyze and facilitate private sector investments” throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement.

Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs in areas like technology, education, telecoms, media, business services and clean technology, the White House said.

OPIC said sample projects could help foster the development of new computer technology or telecommunications businesses, or widen access to broadband Internet services. ….

Let’s hope those funds go to the kind of techonology that doesn’t involve blowing up Americans.

    This is what’s called “getting the most bang for your buck”. I had to say it. Sorry.
