Me too.

Uncle Sugar (the USA), is broke and has overdrawn its credit cards, Why are we still sending Billions to these countries? Time to derail the money train.

And why is Israel getting billions in aid?

Happy sparkle twinkle bum to you all.

Because many Americans are Jewish and send support out of their own pockets, and Israel can nuke Iran any time it wants. The Jews have turned Israel into a garden country with vibrant industry, with good healthcare, while the rest of the middle-east is a shithole. Why don't the Saudi royal family sell a few airplanes, yachts, gold toilets to help their Islamic brothers? Because the rich Wahhabi bastards would rather send money to ISIL to kill infidels and destroy all other religions.
