They have enough money to provide universal health care to their citizens but not enough to buy their own guns. Don't worry our congressman have guranteed them at least this amount annually for the next ten years. fixed link

Bad link.

But, otherwise, there are those who would call this "Defense Spending" as in: U.S. arms makers get their share.

I would prefer US tax money for defense spending going towards defending the United States, not a foreign country. But hey that's just me.

always thought israel was a democratic republic and that they transitioned to capitalism like 35 years ago

I can see Bibi campaigning now......We built a wall around Gaza...and I got the U.S. to pay for it!

They have single payer universal healthcare; therefore they are a socialist country. The memes, president, and Drudgereport told me so.

Plus there's the apartheid, religious thing.

Yes definitely some sarcasm. I think a fair question though. What are we getting back in return for this 38 Billion dollar check? Obviously it is not a question that can really be asked considering the only bipartisan thing that can be agreed upon within government is that we should give Israel 4 billion dollars a year. Furthermore, how many acts of terrorism have been committed against the United States, and how many US soldiers have died, as a result of our strident support of Israel? I know they hate us for our freedom and all that, but they also hate us for our unquestioning support of Israel.

Who would have thought we would have Jewish nazis running Israel?

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

Universities are publicly funded too, students pay a small fraction of tuition.
But we'd surely end up just like Venezuela if we tried that here.
