$30 Billion in Aid to Israel?

Our Federal government budget is awash in red ink and our national debt is exploding. State and local governments are unable to meet urgent needs and are reducing or eliminating important services. Millions of Americans are unemployed.      At the same time our Congress has pledged to give Israel $30 billion over a period of ten years. Could there be any better illustration of governmental insanity?      How is it possible that Israel's needs are seen to be more important than the needs of our own people?
