Since our economy is so bad, why are we still giving weapons and billions of dollars to Israel?

Question

We've just upped the loans to 30,000,000,000 per year.

Answer 1

It's the military-industrial complex, silly.

Answer 2

Yo eyesofruby1979, maybe you should check out the spending power of the dollar from 1913 vs. today. There's a 96% drop in value from then. Also, why are we borrowing $3Billion from China a day to support our economy. This country is on the verge of economic collapse, but you don't care. You'd rather watch American Idol or Survivor instead of dealing with the pertinent issues of this country.

Why are we dealing w/ Israel? My guess, so they can make the first strike on Iran to ignite WW3. Then when they need help, we're supposed to rush in like the hero and save the day. I say, pull our troops from the Middle East and everywhere else, and get them where we need them. AT HOME!!! This war on terror is a hoax, and if people don't start realizing this, it's going to go on for centuries.

Answer 3

Hello! and in the mean time, Conservatives complain about student aid, bush vetoed the bill to increase claiming no budget for it, therefore Americans are getting dumber by the year as education is a last priority.

Israel has universal health care, and is still ignoring UN resolutions.

Answer 4

Seriously, is the US economy THAT bad?

And why don't you ask that question about all foreign aid? Why specifically focus on Israel?

Answer 5

Well the government is run by christians, and christians believe jesus was a jew, that the jews are "god's chosen people", etc. Try to find an atheist who would give all that aid to Israel. But alas, Americans wont elect atheists.

Answer 6

Our dedication to Israel began with HARRY TRUMAN, A DEMOCRAT. Why are we giving a million trillion funds interior the call of "healthcare for all", which will greater sink our financial equipment decrease, kill jobs, empty my financial employer account, and prostitute my childrens' liberties? through fact SHEEPLE VOTED DEMOCRATS INTO capability with a stupid catchphrase and grants of unfastened sh111t.

Answer 7

It's unbelievable, how people are not getting or ignoring that!

Just check all the lobbyist who are working their behind off to get Israel rich!!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Well.. on what premise makes you think the economy is bad? please give me some hard evidence of such.. and not just lib media agents bashing it just cuz we have a republican president... mmkay? thanx.

the economy is doing great.. so i believe the whole premise in this argument is flawed.

3 billion dollars a day is a drop in the bucket... also, didya forget to factor inflation into your little 1913 vs. today ratio? again, i restate my point. Insults get you nowhere... who are you to judge what i do and dont do, you dont know me, so instead of going ad hominum on me, be a grown up and state the facts.

Answer 10

I think because it is an investment, by the time they pay us back in Jewish money, the dollar will be worth the peso multiplied by .5 and Jewish money will be worth a lot because they will own the middle east so it works out to our advantage.

Answer 11

I do say that is quite the question and I have to say with global warming and all that sense we are just upping the stakes to world melt down........... it seems we are domed one way or the other.
