If the USA had vast amount of money pouring in from almost everywhere (Christians, Muslims, Jews, NGOs, Governments worldwide) then we'd be a bit more flush.....
Also, if we started from close to scratch and brought in mostly literate and educated people - the same would goose the economy and allow us to flourish.
I won't even do the math- but adjusting for population, the amount of $$$ flowing "free" into Israel would seem to be vast.
Of course, we could do it anyway if we had health care costs the same as other advanced countries and didn't spend many trillions extra on the Security State, etc.

Kind of like a perpetual game of chasing your own tail. As long as the none of the raping, robbing, and killing happens in my house it's only "collateral damage" to me.
I honestly could give two god damns what happens to the Middle East. Israel included. The entire area could disappear tomorrow and nobody would even notice since (outside of Israel) that region contributes nothing of to the world except terrorism, religion extremism and oil.
But, so long as the political realities are what they are, and so long as the Middle East has been engaged in a 1400 year quest to subjugate the world, we will always have to keep a wary eye on that region. Lest people forget that up until WW1 the Ottoman Empire was one of the most enduring and brutal forces in the world, with occupation tentacles that reached into Europe.
We send billions more to Muslim-majority countries. Why pick on Israel? (And if they're ahead of Muslim countries economically and technically and scientifically and medically, that's largely because Jews place a big emphasis on education.)
Not picking on them. Just trying to make a point about how decent the Israeli people are when it comes to taking care of each other.
We send them billion$, yet we supposedly can't take care of our own.
I dunno..might be due to economy of scale ? 8 million vs 330 million + 20-30 million illegals ?
Study done on medicare for all has it starting at $30 trillion and going up to $56 trillion.
Where are we going to get that kind of money ?

Ok, thanks.
As another poster pointed out, there are only 9 million living there. You can't expect the same in America, with 300+ million, half of whom don't pay federal income tax, and with 1 million illegal immigrants coming in every year needing us to educate and feed their children. Just can't compare.

Print and steal. See the Fed for a step-by-step instructional.
