Answer: When it's a work program for the country giving it's!
Israel just got a ten year military agreement worth 310 billion dollars paid for by the US tax payers.
Israel can only use that money to buy United States military equipment.
Now you can call it anything you want, I call a works program that benefits the military industrial complex.
Food aide benefits the American Farmer.
I'm not against foreign aide that helps both the nation that receives it, just as long as it's understood that it's a benifit to Americans.
It's funny that there are congress people who would vote down any aide to farmers, workers or big industrial companies, but would not blink a eye if you rap it around foreign aide.
