To make it equal after the billions we send to Arab countries?

Israel is the only western-oriented democracy in the Mid-east, but I agree with you.

They are already a strong nation because they are educated, civilized and technically advanced. They can survive without our money. Besides, what will they do when Fed.gov ultimately goes bankrupt?

Ron Paul should know it’s not real money anyway. Just manipulations of a fiat currency. Just like QE. It’s a Madoff-Ponzi financialized economy and all the money given to Europe (NATO), Japan, South Korea, et al., are just bills inherited by future generations who will not pay them.

Ron Paul relies upon the fact that he’s a celebrity, and no one will ever look up what his role is at the Treasury - or how the Treasury interacts with the Fed to create what we know as the economy.

And 38 billion dollars is about $100 from every US citizen.... Which makes no sense at all.

Modern economy is nothing of what you were taught. The 38 billion isn’t in actual money. But People like Ron Paul (And Ron Paul specifically) survive on you thinking that this is actual money like you and I use to buy groceries.

It’s a shell game. It’s not real money. It’s just numbers on a paper that are literally worth nothing.

It's worth noting that U.S. aid has been a subject of contention in many Islamic countries in the Middle East. Egypt is a good example of this. I'm not referring to U.S. aid to Israel, either ... I'm talking about the U.S. aid to Egypt.

One of the things you never hear about is that this money has a lot of strings attached to it, and there are vocal factions in these countries who claim that the U.S. money has completely corrupted their governments.

I can't say I disagree with that, either -- when I see how corrupt our own country has become.

It's easy to be cavalier about it when you look at it in the abstract, but what does all that money buy?

Because for some thing, Ron, the national debt doesn’t matter.

I agree....US policies that may have worked during the Cold War don’t work today. Until curmudgeons are rooted out of government we will still be providing “aid” to countries both friend and hostile. Until we have our own fiscal house in order not a single dime should go overseas.

that money is spent mostly in the US to employ US persons making defense articles or in Israel making defense articles in which the US has a technology sharing interest.

The various congressional delegations have interest in keeping the F35, F15, and F16 lines going, and we certainly benefit by having access to Iron Dome technology. Its not
all one way..

Israel can have the F 35, but, the money goes to Lockheed Martin.

It's one of the most expensive development projects and needs to be paid for somehow.

Plus, it has propaganda value.

Relax, Ron. It’s just a Jew tax on the $380 billion the USA will send to hostile Muslim countries over the same period of time. Just think of it as bribing Israel not to take out the religious leadership of Iran and Saudi Arabia, thereby making the world safer for America’s conquerors.

Israel is our ‘footprint’ in the Middle East which has prevented the Islamic push from taking over Europe......although with Merkel’s refugee flow there’s no barrier preventing them now. They are indeed invading successfully and paid well by Saudi and other Muslim countries to get their people throughout the world. Jihad is alive, well and on the move......

Unlike the 150 billion we sent to Iran the money for Israel is a transfer payment to USA arms and aerospace manufactures.

While Iran is spending none of their money 5x that given to Israel over 10 years in the USA.

Every cent of Israeli aide is going for American arms industry jobs.

Israel is also working with our country on the next generation of missile defense. Just like the present generation was a cooperative Israeli American success.

Interestingly the missile defense system is designed to stop Iranian missiles the 150 billion is paying for.

Ron, you’re chasing the wrong issue here. Why don’t you ask why we have given over $100 billion to the Iranians?!


A bit more of a pressing issue, Mr. Paul!
