Iraq Government Giving Out Cash

The Iraqi Prime Minister has been handing out cash to Iraqi people, as long as it's no more than 8-thousand dollars and the same people don't get it twice.

Iraqi officials say  they're meant merely to ease the pain a bit, and are motivated by a belief that better conditions will lead to more security.

The cash handouts are part of the glut of oil money.

U.S. officials and a fed-up American public want  Iraq to spend its own money, not America's, to rebuild the country now that violence has eased.

What do you think?  Wasn't some of the oil money supposed to go to re-construction in the first place?

Happy Blogging,

Mike

I say they should pay us for everything we have ever put behind this so far.

At this point I just don't care who gets the money...as long as Iraq starts pumping oil ! As the second largest oil producer in the world Iraq in full swing can turn the market around and this is way more important than the over blown MEDIA lies about what we are spending in Iraq.

Hi everybody, knowledge REALLY IS power. As the 5pm co-anchor/reporter here at FOX 35, I learn something new each day from the people in our community who share their stories, opinions, and experiences. That's why I love journalism, and what we do here at the station. With these blogs, I hope we can learn from each other, share information, and grow from the diverse viewpoints around Central Florida. So, as I'm doing in this picture: sit back, relax, and blog away! Thanks so much, Mike
