Who Gets the Most U.S. Foreign Aid?
Israel, of course. Except it does not, not even remotely during the past decade. Totting up the most recent figures, 2002-11 from the U.S. government’s own statistics and using constant 2011 U.S. dollars, one finds that the numbers for all economic and military aid look like this:
Afghanistan: $60,017,650,000
Iraq: $64,373,630,000
Israel: $30,645,470,000
Further, these numbers substantially understate U.S. support for the economies and militaries of Afghanistan and Iraq, including neither the hundreds of billions spent on the U.S. war fighting effort in those countries, which purchased substantial amounts in the local market, employed many locals, and led to unspeakably vast amounts of graft; nor do the above numbers include the military equipment declared excess and donated to their armed forces.
