Israel's economy is booming as never before, with newly discovered natural gas riches, almost full water independence, and a new Bloomberg study showing the shekel with the strongest rating of 31 major currencies tracked over the last six months. Given all this, several campaigns are asking a vital question more loudly than ever before: Why is a debt-ridden, sequester-suffering, grossly inequitable U.S., bolstered by an ever-greedy defense industry, giving $3 billion a year to a country smaller than West Virginia?

Really need to turn that Record over,or,perhaps buy a couple new ones Best!
But this one has a serious Crack in it,especially when you consider 250'000'000 Dollars,Tanks and Fighterplanes to the Muslim Brotherhood,plus the release of half a Billion Dollars to the PA,all during the Sequester!

Good question. Why the jets to Egypt? Why is most of the free world defended at our expense?

need to ask the Untied Nations about that!
Same time the question needs to be asked why the only thanks the USA gets for her efforts is Hate and Ridicule!

Because we support dictators and criminals as long as they are "our dictators and criminals". There is no sense of morality to what the US supports or does not support. We lost the high ground under Reagan.

Good thing Morsi is a straightshooting Fellow!
You all just stirred the Pot supplying the Brotherhood,so stop complaining!

Genuine in simplicity. If you won't give to Israel their daily thing they will turn into bad guys and then ... it's really better to have good guys in the yard

besides,most of that Money is spent in the US!
Additional,there are common Defense Contracts and Weapons Research,benefiting the US as well.

maybe... doesn't really matter, neither dem or repub have tried to straighten it out either way, in 12 years of repubs, (both bushes) and 14 years of dems...(clinton-barry)... blaming one side or the other means nothing...

I blamed Neither side but it is my opinion the Iran/Contra Affair marked a turning point in modern politics. Both parties are of the same mind when it comes to the national security state. I cannot remember who said this but it applies well.

A person puts a big mack and a whopper on a picnic table, the person who put it there knows one is a Big Mack and one a Whopper. A person standing thirty feet away sees two hamburgers.
