Which is ironic, because despite all the fuckery and corruption. Some of those aid deals may provide some leverage or deals which the US depends on. Controlling a third world country that has plenty of natural resources which US companies extract for instance is far more valuable than giving free shekels to israel and getting dragged into their wars.

That's a bit of a retard take. The vast majority of the "aide" funding was kick bribes. The rest was a CIA slush fund to destabilize nations. Stable countries provide stable output. Destabilized countries do not provide stable output. So those resource rich countries we destabilize do not ship us what we want.
Who noose were all that money went. Not saying it's good to extort other countries but it does contribute to a certain world order, which may now change as the financial interest is lost.
Yep, and not a single word about that over at oyvey.negro. Had to get that information from alternative sources.
Basically what I already predicted, as the scale flips between red jew and blue jew every 4 year, nobody bothers to think long term. The sane thing to do would of course be to raise taxes and pay off as much debt as possible. But no president would ever do that as it makes them look bad.
Short term is so much easier, were debt is increased, and voters are bribed. To pay back that debt and interest on top of it is the problem of future generations. They really do have that boomer mentality.
It will be interesting to see how it changes.
