Foreign Countries Who Receive Welfare from U.S. Taxpayers

While NeoCons distract the country by bitching, ****** and whining about the cost of ******* immigration which is really a drop in the bucket when we take a look and compare it to the welfare the U.S. provides to other countries while we're left holding the bill and being foreclosed and denied medical care by our health insurers and their NeoCon puppet allies:

the totals here do not
give the whole picture. Israel gets 2.58 billion but 2.1 billion of it
goes to military aid which it uses to purchase US made weapons. Egypt
gets 1.3 for the same reason although it buys french made weapons
also, persumably with US dollars. The rest goes to social programs
(i.e. aid). Afghanistan and Pakistan aid is mostly military aid
although alot of Afghanistan aid is going to set up the government and
a significant portion is going to fight poppy production (farmer
incentive programs). Colombia gets its .57 billion for the War on
*****, very little goes to social programs, mostly eradication and
fumagation of coca crops.
