What is not so funny is that when put to a vote the county adjacent to the next would not even pay a one time 5 dollar fee to help rebuild the Bridge that they themselves use. And yet there is money allotted to all these other places far away with just a passing fancy. I bet if actual people were asked to vote on these things they would have a pretty slim chance of being approved.

Gosh I sympathise with the American taxpayers,it's not quite as bad as here in the UK though,we pay 50 million a day to be part of the European Union whilst the country is in dire straits economically,probably to pay the Euro MP's wages bill
I answered your survey but it is so skewed that you aren't really asking people's honest opinion. It would have been more credible to ask yes or no and then state your opinion, don't you think? Yes I like Isreal, give them the money. lol
Thanks for allowing me to comment on my own country's foreign policy... and of course to be ever inclusive to ask for CSers of other countries to offer their opinion on American foreign policy.....
you know what they say about opinions... just like *ssholes everyone has one....

epirb: Must look like that , Israel was only to happy to build their own planes , as they did with the tank . Us was not to happy about it and you can bet the Russians were not either . I could imagine somebody saying , here have our planes we will give you the money to help you pay for them . Not so kosher put the way you put it Leo
GalwayGuy35: I thought America was broke, why don't they tell these countries to finance themselves.
If I was an American taxpayer I wouldn't be happy about it.
Don't worry we are owned by China they got it, after all what is a little loan between friends?
The sad fact is we have hungry people doing without medical care in our own streets. This should never be. We are not the nation we were in my youth, for shame on our government for letting this happen. And them living their rich life styles never feeling the pain of the working class
Sorry my bad Ray just wanted to get that off my chest I did read the whole thread

Not really the same is it as you get a lot of that back in farmer and fishermen subsidies as well as other payments. And businesses in the UK have free trade with other countries in the EU so you have to factor in all those exports and how they contribute to the economy.
It is up to the UK if it is worth their while staying in the EU but to claim it is 50 million a day into a black hole would be misleading.
KIBALUV: I don't think the U.S. should give money to ANY country! Americans work for the money & it should be used IN America, FOR Americans. I don't see other countries ever giving hand-outs to us!
China has thrown you a few dollars over the last few years.
RayFromUSA That money the United States gives to Israel is actually paid by the taxation of America's most hardworking and wealthy middle class the 6 million American Jews( 61% of American Jews work as professionals, many of whom are highly educated, salaried professionals whose work is largely self-directed in management, professional, and related occupations such as engineering, science, medicine, investment banking, finance, law, and academia) plus the fact that American Jews through being taxed at their personal income and business contributes much more to United States than the American aid to Israel. And you said " Israel lives high because of the aid" that is not true, the American aid is worth 3 billion dollars last year Israel exported, technology, medicin, and industry tools worth 64 billions so if USA cuts it's aid it will not stop Israel from being prosperous.

Until the 1960s jews were forbidden from the top american universites it was inferiority complex..... the whites though that it was impossible to compete with Jews.
RayfromUSA: This is especially for Americans but anybody can vote or comment.
The US has spent more on supporting Israel than for the 50 poorest countries on earth. Why?
Could it be the powerful Jewish lobby and its blatant bribery of US lawmakers?
Or is it that the US people just loooooove Israel and recognize them as God's gift to humanity, no matter how many atrocities they commit against the indigenous people of Palestine, and no matter how many times they attack the US and try to blame it on innocents.
the prez,can make a statement,on zimmerman,my poll on watch program/banned?it,was just a poll,on to join,one or not now!
