  1. You are precisely correct. this is why the same crap never ends. If we stop rebuilding them, then perhaps the people there will get fed up with their terrorist leaders and perhaps then and only then will there be peace.

  2. Why? It’s a hidden bailout, like most foreign aid programs, and Gaza is willing to play along.

    Most foreign aid money never leaves the US. We give them a billion for roads and bridges, they have to spend $900 million of it on equipment from Caterpillar and engineers from Bechtel and Haliburton. We give them another billion for defense, they spend it all at Lockheed-Martin.

    The odds of a senator or a CEO dying as a result of doing something like this are exceedingly slim. But the money in their pockets is guaranteed.

  3. I don’t believe all of the money stays here as Matt suggested.
    Remember that image of a Hamas leader doling out hundreds dollar bills to the “beleaguered Palestinian victims of Israeli over reaction”? That was money that we gave them to rebuild. Sorry Matt, they use money we give them to buy bombs not tractors.

  4. Matt, this is not a money issue; it’s a survival issue. The folks we are giving a billion of our hard-earned money to would (literally) behead us if given the chance. When are we going to wake the fuck up?!

  5. When we elect leaders who put our best interests ahead of their financial well-being. The 536 people who spend our money every day are not the ones who will get beheaded by Muslim extremists, so that isn’t much of a concern from their point of view. Being able to maintain 2 expensive houses and get cushy jobs after “public service” on the other hand, those are matters that they give the highest priority.

  8. Respectfully KG, it is perverse to compare ACORN, an organization that plays fast and loose with the elections laws, with Hamas, that straps bombs on willing idiots who blow themselves up in crowds of Israeli civilians.
