"Joe, Say It Isn't So"

 Pretend you're held up in Israel but the government of the United States is working on your release using what's called the 'Government Assistance Program.' The gist of the program states if the government is able to earn your release you must sign a promissory note stating you will pay back whatever expenses were incurred in securing your rescue. Ya' can't make this stuff up. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/biden-regime-is-forcing-americans-trapped-israel-sign/
