I distinctly remember in the blowback episodes on Cuba and South Africa, that is sort of a circular deal, they send you foreign/military aid, you allocate some of it to redistribute come election day. As long as aid to Israel continues, democrats and republicans are going to keep getting paid.

Arg, that makes sense. I kinda wondered about the actual mechanics of how Israel could do so much spending, given that they are the population and economy of a mid-sized US state.
