Transparency? $750B of New US Foreign Aid - Without Debate or a Vote

Treasury Commits $750 Billion to the International Monetary Fund - WSJ.com:
"The upshot for U.S. taxpayers is that neither the $40 billion-plus in new SDRs nor the $100 billion for the NAB will get much democratic scrutiny. Yet they amount to a massive expansion in U.S. foreign aid. We can see why the G-20 applauded. But this is the opposite of the 'transparency' this Administration has promised, and someone on Capitol Hill should blow the whistle."
Let you congressional delegation know that you oppose this giveaway of US taxpayer dollars to foreign nations with virtually no accountability at any level.
