    Ah, but you must understand, how else would they (politicians, lobbyists, generals, etc.) perform graft and corruption to enrich themselves? This is the only way things could’ve happened!

      I’m normally a huge pedant, so I’ll point out that using the median would change this number a lot. America is an incredibly unequal country. The average salary in the US was ~$70k, but the median is ~$43k.

      Total federal obligations on $70k is $13k.

      For $43k it’s $6.5k.

    Meanwhile estimates suggest it’ll take about 80 billion to rebuild Gaza, nearly 10 times as much as was given to Israel to destroy it.
