Every time I see an arms deal (be it to Israel or others) it is always the indebted USA taxpayers and middle class citizens getting the bill from GE or General Dynamics. It is long past time that politicians start sending the bill to actual recipients instead of being pretentious and pretending to be generous rich uncles with other people’s (OUR) money.
You are correct, any weapons deal that involves the US government is simply crony capitalists (Fascists) wearing a new path to the taxpayer filled feeding trough.
