The US financial aid designated for the Palestinian Authority (PA) is set to grow considerably in 2014 to $440 million, up from $426 million in 2013. The aid aims to bail out the PA, which in June was revealed to owe $4.2 billion in internal and external debt.

I think we ought to keep the money here and pay some bills.

for what?? - to keep their mouth shut on financial and electorate support or, on revealing the real Benghazi story??
...and that is an amount we know of.....you can rest assured...it will be higher than that by the end of the year

No more places to make cuts...
Nancy P.

No surprise.
Recall when SoS Colin Powell was in charge of giving them $300 million in the first Bush 2 term. [Was that annual or a one-time gift of our benevolence?]
How else do you think Arafat managed to die and leave a fortune worth $Billions? He had been scamming and skimming for decades.
I wonder how many millions will come back into the US in the form of campaign contributions for the Democrats? After all this time the PA is nothing more than a source of kickback financing for the traitorous party of grifters know. As the Democrats Party.
Financing every Islamic enemy of USA he can find anywhere in the world. And giving the our weapons and military training so they can bomb and murder more innocent “ infidels”. Impeach. Boner, are you there?
Congress has voted to give out money to Anti-American Muslim terrorist gangster thieves ? I mean, don’t our Congresscritters have enough American gangster thief cronie political crooks they can give our money to?
