I'm sure this can be reduced. Right now we have a situation where Hamas rocket attacks Israel, Israel has had enough of that so they invade Gaza, where invariably things get busted up like they would in any war zone, and then the United States pays to repair everything after Israel pulls out. That's perverse.
Even in our own military operations, we're paying twice. Once to blow stuff up and again to rebuild. We are suckers in the classic sense.

The $ is much better spent on Lavish Wednesday night get togethers at the whitehouse. Obama and the dems are quick to judge how companies spend $, but they seem to not hold themselves accountable. 180 enjoyed a nice meal last night on tax payer dollars and it seems that will be the norm going forward, not to mention the fact that he seems to be using Air force 1 as a boy who just got a new toy...
