At least part of our government is growing some balls.
House Votes to Block Aid for Saudi Arabia
The House voted 217-191 to remove $25,000 in the $19.4 billion 2005 foreign aid bill earmarked for Saudi Arabia.
The funds were designated for military training but approval would have triggered millions of dollars in discounts on hardware and other military training, lawmakers said.

As a symbolic gesture, it's a good thing.
In real terms, though, it bites, no?
What's the percentage rate on
$25,000 of $19,400,000 anyway?
(I always leave all the hard math homework to the CPA.) ;)
The RWNB. :D
