VOTE 23 WORLD BANK

The New American says Hal Rogers voted against Freedom in Vote 23 of the Freedom Index of the 115th Congress.  The New American Magazine explains why he got a "minus" for his vote in that House Resolution where he voted in favor of authorizing $3.29 billion in U.S. contributions to the World Bank's International Development Association as follows:

         "23  World Bank.  The World Bank Accountability Act (H.R. 3326) would authorize $3.29 billion in U.S. contributions to the World Bank's International Development Association which ischarges concessional loans known as 'credits' and economic grants to the world's poorest and most underdeveloped countries.

          "The House passed  H.R. 3326 on January 17, 2018 by a vote of 237 to 184 (Roll Call 24).  We have assigned pluses to the nays because authorizing such funds to the WTO's IDA is foreign aid, which is a form of international welfare and completely unconstitutional, and most World Bank 'aid' further enriches plutocrats in Third World countries, at the expense of the poor."

             THE REPUBLICANS ARE CERTAINLY GENEROUS WITH OTHER PEOPLES' MONEY--WITH YOUR MONEY, AND GENEROUS WITH GIVING YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO FOREIGN MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS.  HAL ROGERS IS NO FRIEND OF FREEDOM.  THIS TIME VOTE FOR KENNETH  STEPP FOR CONGRESS KY-05, A FRIEND OF FREEDOM, WHO WOULD NOT BE VOTING FOR GIVING YOUR TAX MONEY TO THE WORLD BANK TO GIVE IT TO THE WORLD'S POOREST AND MOST UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES.
