http://www.ifamericaknew.org/stats/usaid.html Please look, please read.

You will see the chart that compares what we give Israel compared to Palestinians. Plus, the text is clearly written and the graphs are easy to read.

Will we ever stop and get our country turned around - all that money going out every day - all the jobs and factories going out - all the profits going off shore. Gifts to favorite friends in other countries - what per cent from the 99%, what % from the 1%?
