"No Nice Things"
If Americans ever wonder why they don't have nice things such as a nationwide passenger rail network or affordable public housing it is, in part, because of Israel.
The US government has given tens of billions of dollars to the Jewish state and they have used that money to build out one some of the most comprehensive urban fabrics and public transit systems in the world.
George H. W. Bush gave Israel 12 billion dollars in 1992 for these projects, while domestically he signed legislation to rip up railways and other infrastructure.
Americans should ask themselves why their political class denies them worldclass infrastructure and services (often declaring them to be socialist) while simultaneously spending untold billions to fund these services in Israel.
