SANCTION NOT AID

 American tax money flowing to Israel — $8.5 million per day, plus other, hidden gifts that Israel’s lobby has contrived to milk from the U.S. This is far more than we give any other country, even though Israel is one of the world’s smallest nations. And it is disbursed in a lump sum at the very beginning of the fiscal year.

Because our government is operating at a deficit, this means our government borrows the money then pays interest on it long after it has gone to Israel. The money is deposited into an Israeli interest-bearing account, so Israel actually makes profit from our borrowing. For specifics, see the official Congressional Research Service report, “U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel April 11, 2013.”

Is it any wonder we're in debt? Americans who have worked hard all their lives are threaten with the loss of Social Security. Our infrastructure  is falling apart. Our schools are inferior. Life and limb along with our  money is wasted on foolish wars which have no benefit for Americans.

The military industrial complex is growing rich though. We gypped them out of a war with Syria but Believe it or not, some Members of Congress  have recently introduced legislation to authorize W A R .. O N .. I R A N .

Ah yes these war profiteers want a war one way or another Does any of this make you angry? Well don't keep it to yourself contact your represenatives
