and the killer is it is being given to “create jobs”… I am truly starting to become displeased with this administration.

On top of this…

$500m mortgage finance facility launched in Palestine

BEIRUT: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas launched on Wednesday a landmark $500 million mortgage finance program that will double the number of Palestinian families who are able to purchase homes by offering long-term mortgages that will enable them to enjoy the benefits of home ownership without excessively burdening their monthly incomes.

Funding for mortgage program is being supplied by leading international and Palestinian financial institutions that include the Palestine Investment Fund, (PIF), an independent, state-owned investment fund working on economic development in Palestine, which will provide financing of $72 million; the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), a US government agency whose mission is to facilitate US private sector investment in less-developed countries, which will provide $241 million; and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, which will provide $72 million.

Plus the 20 million from February 2009s executive order. There’s more too.
