Israel may seek further U.S. funding for security measures

[Paleocon]

Israel, which receives about $3 billion a year in U.S. aid, may seek extra funding next year to bolster border security and overhaul checkpoints as part of a plan to pull out of Gaza and parts of the West Bank, sources familiar with the talks said on Thursday.

4. Well, they can take some of the money they made on the weapons

system sale to China and put it toward security. You know, the one who's research and development the United States funded originally.

5. Democratic spending

Why can't the people vote on how their taxes should be spent, especially when their tax money is given away? I'm sure that there are many important programs in the US lacking proper funding.
