US aid to Israel

[Max B. Sawicky]

. . . Since 1949 the U.S. has given Israel a total of $83.205 billion. The
interest costs borne by U.S. tax payers on behalf of Israel are $49.937
billion, thus making the total amount of aid given to Israel since 1949
$133.132 billion. This may mean that U.S. government has given more federal
aid to the average Israeli citizen in a given year than it has given to the
average American citizen.

mbs:  amazing.  I never knew there was a budget category,
"interest on money borrowed to give to Israel."  I'll have
to stay on my toes.
