... Israel gets a 10 Billion USD in aid. I bet no one heard about it because everyone is busy with the war

quote:

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, during his last visit to Washington in October, said Israel needed the money to help offset the economic toll from a two and a half-year Palestinian uprising and a war in nearby Iraq. Israel already receives $US3 billion ($5 billion) a year in US aid, mostly in military hardware

wow Santa Clause is late this year, still ditching around 1500 USD to every israeli. Americans are very genereous, they give out their hard earned cash while their public school system is in ruin, and about 30 million of them aren't covered in any kind of medical insurance.

I'm very proud of you Americans! you have a big heart!

PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT! The number of americans not covered under any health insurance is:

"10.1 million poor people had no health insurance in 2001. They represented 30.7 percent of the poor, unchanged from 2000."

http://www.census.gov/

And what statistic do you have that qualifies our poublic school system as being in a state of "ruin"????

but it is a fact that we are having a great deal of economic problems with pay cuts and lack of jobs so maybe giving billions of dollars away is not a good idea right now..and even if we r gonna give away billions..why not spread it around to other poor countries?

ok obviously i'm not gonna try finding my sources, frankly it doesn't matter.

Lets take your numbers and say the public education system is excellent.

Lets just not divert attention from the present subject which is huge and senseless US aid to israel.

because all the most powerful and influencial people in the US government are jews, so of course they're going to give away billions to israel instead of to any other country or cause that would merrit that money instead; in fact israel is using a lot of that money to themselves build/obtain huge amounts of weapons; i mean its not like its a conspiracy that israel can has masses of weapons but other middle eastern countries are allowed to have none; its not like its a conspiracy that it is funded billions of free money for absolutely no reason at all; its not like its a conspiracy that a country brutally founded at the expense of another barely existant for 50 years should be in the top few nations in military might - it all seems normal to me

10.1 million is still a shitload.
and its most of the innercity schools which are in poor neighborhoods to begin with which are in the craper.

but the greater point is that america doesn't spend money where it is most needed
there are alot of social problems in this country which the government fails to focus on.
