The USA gives Israel roughly $3.8 billion a year in aid and almost all is used to buy U.S. arms. In other words, the money we give comes back to us.
For whatever reason, it has become "en vogue" recently for Democrats (and some Republicans) to rant and rave (aka virtue signal) about this $3.8 billion. They want it to stop and they insist that it is the penultimate issue affecting the U.S. budget.
I'm an Italian-American who is self-funding his campaign. I have no ties to Israel and can tell when I smell bullshit.
The attacks on the $3.8 billion given to Israel are irrational bullshit.
Here is why:
Almost of that money comes back to the USA as Israel uses it to buy weapons from us.
$12.7 billion is given to Africa every year and none of that money comes back to us. No Democrat cares.
$12 billion was given to Somali Fraudsters in Minnesota, likely to thank them for electing Democrats. No Democrat cares.
$3 billion was spent by Jerome Powell to beautify his personal office space and when President Trump called him out for it, Democrats got mad at Trump.
The U.S. Government wastes money like crazy. Dishonest politicians, looking for a boogeyman, want you to believe that the biggest issue affecting the U.S. budget is aid to Israel.
I love cutting wasteful spending but the aid we send to Israel is strategic. Israel is surrounded by countries that Hate America.
The aid we give Israel protects America and keeps Israel indebted to us which is strategically beneficial and smart.
The (mostly Democrat) attacks on aide to Israel are designed to sell out America, as Democrats always do, by pushing a fake narrative to increase their power.
Israel has always been a friend to America and they are all alone, surrounded by violent neighboring countries. We would be foolish to abandon them.
If Israel fell, it would be terrible for America and the Jewish people.
Strategic defense spending is something we have to do as a country to protect ourselves.
I love cutting waste and if you do too then you should want all waste, fraud and abuse cut, cut, cut.
What Jerome Powell did, using $3 billion in taxpayer money to upgrade his office, is total bullshit.
What Democrats have done, giving billions upon billions to illegal immigrants is bullshit too.
All over the U.S. Budget there is waste, fraud, and abuse.
Why do Democrats who rant about Israel ignore all the other wasteful spending?
The answer is obvious.
