Wait, what happened to my wallet?

Apparently, we did not think that our sugar baby was getting enough money, so yesterday we decided to up Israel's allowance to a a cool thirty billion dollars over the next ten years. That's a twenty-five percent increase over our last figures. Last I checked, we give Israel more money than every other country combined, so I wonder where this latest number puts us.

But don't worry, we're going to balance it out by giving about twenty billion dollar in arms to some Arab allies (Egypt and Saudi are on our Top Friends list).

By the way, remember how this administration was determined to ONLY deal with democracies and was not going to use weapons sales to court foreign powers? Wasn't that their policy for years now? I wonder what happened to change their mind . . .
