Note: cutting Egypt aid would cut mostly money to purchase weapons from US.

Most of the $1.3 billion given to Egypt goes to purchasing weapons from U.S. defense industry contractors, according to NPR.

Yeah, realpolitics require that Dems like me support continuing giving aid to Egypt. Yet, isn't it fun to think that we could screw the GOP's defense industry welfare queens?

wouldn't it be fun to start by cutting all aid to other countries that either comes in the form of military anything or money to spend on military anything, or paying down of debt through military purchases?
