During financial crisis, State Department spending $195,000 for airport expeditor

Days after the federal government passed a $700 billion bailout bill and despite the government being nearly $10 trillion in debt, the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) is planning to spend $195,000 for airport expeditors at New York’s JFK Airport and New Jersey’s Newark International Airport. This service will only be offered to international travelers participating in State Department visitor programs, including those operated by Muslim Brotherhood affiliates and will enable these visitors to bypass lines and rush through the normal customs and border protection processes.  

ECA receives over $500 million of U.S. taxpayer funds each year for such things as:

• Ambassadors of Jazz
• Acting workshops for foreigners
• Hip-Hop classes in China
• Employment assistance for foreign nannies in the U.S.
