The Dillards used to speak of the outhouses in rural Missouri which were 20 feet from the house; 20 feet too close in summer, but 20 feet to far in winter. That's what this discussion of the Israel part of the US budget reminds me of, depending on which side one is on. It is my understanding that Egypt gets the same US dollar aid as Israel. Now I have not checked to see if this is still the case, but I know someone will...and they'll give an accurate citation.
