Obviously you, I and others hold vastly differing views and opinions as to whether or not it makes sense to continue offering major military aid to Israel - for example much of that “aid” is spent purchasing armaments and weapons systems designed and made in America - thus keeping defense contractor workers employed and technology being progressed - thus IMO there is no real need for you to be quite so sarcastic

You need to read Bastiat, Hazlitt, and Friedman who have repeatedly refuted this economic reasoning. They long ago exposed this Keynesian/Obamaite fallacy that government can create jobs out of thin air. It can't. All it does it take some money from the taxpayers (thus destroying jobs in the private sector) in order to "create jobs" for the recipients of tax money, such as welfare workers and defense contractors.
