That’s what I am wondering. Who approved that and why?

Ever hear of the Camp David Accords? Aid to Egypt was part of the reason why they signed them. Call it an incentive, bribe, etc. but we have been giving Egypt, along with Israel, the lion's share of our aid leaving aside the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Egypt has received more than $57 billion in U.S. military aid since 1946, making it the third-largest recipient of military aid in the past 66 years — after Israel ($123 billion) and Vietnam ($74.8 billion). Since the Camp David Accords in 1979, the United States has sent Cairo more than $1 billion annually in military aid, much of it because Egypt was seen as a lynchpin to peace in the Middle East.

WHY are we giving all this money to Egypt? I think it goes back to Carter and the Egypt/Isreali peace agreements.
