To all of you who were raised on New Math, let us go back to simple arithmetic. If the US federal budget is 3 trillion dollars and Israel gets 2.4 billion, that is about 8 ten thousanths (8/10,000) of the federal budget. It ain't 1.6%!!! Corruption and fraud are at least 30%. Israel is not responsible for any damage to our economy nor is it a drain on our resources. Please rail against fraud and corruption. Thank you.
