I heard an interesting story about the welfare state that the United States has become. We would annually provide about $1.2 billion in aid to Egypt. In turn, Egypt would purchase around $1.2 billion in weapons from US manufacturers. Nice little welfare benefit for the military industrial complex is it not?
