2. Bankruptcy
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (12.20.15)
The US contribution to Israel at $3 billion annually is done on credit, not paid for by taxpayers. Any increase just speeds up the race to bankruptcy for the US. American politicians also cut revenues by tens of billions at Republican insistence. The US government stays open only on credit.
3. The business of war is business.

Better Israel wins than ISIS

5. Money
Mary Lou ,   Loman USA   (12.20.15)
Everyone looks at us like we have money coming out of our butt. As much as I love Isreal, your country, and every other country looks to us. We can't take care of the people here in the US now! If you can't take care of yourself you cant take care of anyone!
6. but i thought...
babymoses ,   tacoma wa   (12.20.15)
YHWH God is the provider/protector? I thought USA is super broke. How come we never here about throwing billions at our deficit...
7. what's a measly 3.1 bill to Israel
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (12.20.15)
when obama just gifted Iran $150 Billions dollars?
8. here or hear?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (12.20.15)
Without freedom the deficit is secondary. You can't buy liberty but, you can elect a better president. Hint, not Hillary.
9. # 5 What?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (12.20.15)
So, you'd rather sponsor Iran as did obama with $150 BILLION freakin' dollars and give nothing to the only trusted, trained to win ME nation in the world Israel who by law, 80% of that money goes to American defense jobs, like those in Tacoma.? What, are you nuts?
10. #1 Please China and Russia are spending
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (12.20.15)
like drunken soldiers. Sometimes you seem to have blinders on......
11. #2 Thanks to obama.

12. #2 Did you watch last night's Dem Debate?
Benji ,   US   (12.20.15)
All three candidates avoided any mention of debt except how they would increase it. Free healthcare and education, more dependent immigrants and perpetual programs that haven't worked. Only Hillary mentioned how the Republicans want to cut spending as if it's the wrong thing to do. Continued aid to Israel is about all the Democrats and Republicans agree on and that's a much better investment than all the wasteful and mismanaged programs put in place by the Obama administration.
13. Oliver Twist will ask for more!!!!!!
(12.20.15)
And what we ask for is all the pieces of the land of Israel. The landmines Syria planted in Golan Heights can be uprooted. It's act of war and if any body still wondering why Syrian driven out and their cities became destructions, we want the landmines cleared in the land of Israel. Don't argue with us. There is a G-d of Israel.
14. 9 - Don't be an IDIOT
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (12.20.15)
American defense jobs are more automated and nonexistent every year. The money goes to executive bonuses for the most part. Iran is receiving back its own money stolen decades ago. The US is not giving anything.
15. 1.8 trillion, lol

1Kings 18:27 "...Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them."
