re: Why do we waste so much attention & money on Israel & Palestine? Why don’t we just STFU?

Why do NONE of y'all know how small the amount of money we spend on foreign aid is compared to the total budget?
Why do ANY of y'all think it's any significant amount?
We send foreign aid to 157 countries worldwide. If you add all of it up, including Israel and Ukraine, it's typically around 1% of the total budget.
In other words, if we stopped ALLLLLLLLLLLL foreign aid so that you could keep more of your money, you'd be able to keep a fricking whopping 1% more of your taxes.
Why do ya'll let Huckster Carlson and others manipulate you into such a constant frenzy over something like this that is so obviously a complete non-issue?
Why do NONE of you look into it yourself instead of just letting them wind you up and watch you go nuts over it?

Why do you like us sending money to other countries for them to fight their own wars?

The issue is that money should be staying home. It’s tough to swallow that Trump’s wall was too expensive at $5 billion when we sling 10s of billions at Zelensky and Israel. Or when I am driving on roads in Michigan that are either fricked up or under construction all the time, I’m sure a few hundred million in federal funds here and elsewhere would be gold.
