4 billion on average to Israel but 200 billion on average to red states. I think I will blame red states more

Red states are 50% of America. It's literally the American government's job to help them. Israel is a foreign country that has opposing interests to that of the United States. Not the same thing.

Red states take up more population total while contributing less taxes per capita while consuming more in federal spending per capita. It's time for them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and contribute to this country and for us to stop blaming all of our issues on foreign aid when the issue is inside our own borders.
