Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Since 1973, Israel has cost the United States about $1.6 trillion
Quote:
Economist tallies swelling cost of Israel to US

By David R. Francis | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

Since 1973, Israel has cost the United States about $1.6 TRILLION. If divided by today's population, that is more than $5,700 per person.

This is an estimate by Thomas Stauffer, a consulting economist in Washington. For decades, his analyses of the Middle East scene have made him a frequent thorn in the side of the Israel lobby.

For the first time in many years, Mr. Stauffer has tallied the total cost to the US of its backing of Israel in its drawn-out, violent dispute with the Palestinians.
So far, he figures, the bill adds up to more than twice the cost of the Vietnam War.

Pretty damn good deal if you ask me. At least they know HOW to fight.

Here's what we get for investing in our own people.

So far, 30,383 jobs have been created by companies that have gotten $2.2 billion worth of stimulus contracts directly from the federal government. That equates to $71,500 per job based on just the funds that have been distributed.

Are you going to continue to overlook the trillions....with an S that has been invested in Americans this year alone?

That $71k was just to create the job......nuttin else.

So doing the math we're talking about $2.5 million per person in the US over the same time period. Almost 10 times as much...for less than 10% of the gain. If anything...we've lost our investment with Americans. because we continue to invest in the parasites....rather than the achievers.

Yes, I feel like I got more bang for my buck, with Israeli investment.

If you figure there are 4 people in an average Israeli household that means we have paid them $1.144 million per family.

And that is only since 1973. If we go back to 1948 it's even more. A sizable portion of our National debt is actually Israeli debt.

Another lie. Didn't Clinton have a budget surplus? That means everything was paid off. Or was that a lie?

Using your math the stimulus is $2.6 million per American.
