Decades after the 1979 storming of the US embassy in Iran, the Americans taken hostage in that incident are finally receiving compensation, but not from the people who victimized them.
Tacked onto the already-impossibly expensive omnibus spending bill, the “United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism” fund assures that all 52 survivors of the embassy attack will be compensated for their misfortune. The thing is, the ones doing the compensating are us!
Yes, the government really decided that after Iran took 52 Americans hostage and held for them over a year, the American taxpayer should be the one paying out $4.4 million to each hostage instead of making the government that facilitated their being taken hostage cough up the cash. This is to say nothing of the $600,000 guaranteed to the families of each former hostage.
Make no mistake: the hostages deserve financial compensation, but it should be the guilty party that provides it.

Let me guess…coming from the Obama administration, I bet the lucky winners are….. THE AMERICAN TAX PAYERS! Thanks Barry!
YES IT CAN
I am so sick and tired of the Pres. And his sidekick expecting the taxpayers to compensate the murders that is being released from Getmo. Why the Hell are We the AMERICAN PEOPLE HELD CAPTIVE LIKE THIS, GOVE ME ONE GOOD REASON. MY DEAR LORD HELP US.
Obama & Kerry are not on America’s side.
Liberals live in DENIAL of life, Truth, Facts, Proof & LOGIC!
Too many are purposely distracted. It’s all by design.
Article III, section 3 of the Constitution “Any person who levies War against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with Arms, Troops, Transportation, Shelter, or Classified Information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.”
Under such Hillary Clinton and Obama have committed such with Benghazi, supplying arms to what is now ISIS.
Hillary has compromised classified information.
The Iran Deal has a subversive act of weakening the power of the United States.
The firing of long standing generals who oppose Obama’s leadership is weakening the power of the United States.
Anyone who supports the Iran deal are also in contempt of this provision in the Constitution.
The President undermining and allowing illegal aliens in this country, has allowed criminals in this country, including ISIS members with oncoming ‘refugees’ and open borders…providing aid and comfort to these people. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on National Television stated they want to give aid, free housing, free college to these illegal aliens and refugees. Such is all considered treasonous under our constitution for undermining the safety of this country and its citizens.
I keep wondering about all the liberals out there who keep on defending this administration……This has been shown from all over our country…how the are not enforcing Immigration laws., ,,,and the consequences taxpayers and their communities are dealing with….school over burdened and teaching big -liquid for Spanish speaking….,all the added cost and there is the fact that American kids are being put into second class citizen ,then add the Muslim kids and the fact a lot of school system have been using book published in the UK by a wealthy Muslim company ….social studies which never taught details of any religion has Islam from the Koran….in public schools which is against CONSTUITION law separation of state and church…..and don’t you think if they teach in depth then they have to every religion?? Bi-liquid for one group…,then it should be done for every language…We have about seven different languages in our background…..My youngest would have chosen Cherokee and Galielc and Scottish or maybe Swedish or Danish ..I’M not sure which country of Vikings my bloodline has in it.
The compensation they are taking about is for the people that were over in Iran …..when The Islamic Kameneii came back to Iran and he and his followers forced the Sahw to abdicate …..he forced a very modern society into following the Islamic laws….these$#%&!@*Muslims attacked several Embassies and our got the worse….they held the staff and ambassador for about a year…,this men and women were treated like criminals. …..and rumors ran over a lot of other countries were our people were…in Pakistan they overran and killed Marine guards…one Sgt was cornered and they threw gas on him and burned him alive.
By the way this all happen in 1979 when Carter was President…
