Real Time host Bill Maher argued on Friday that that U.S. funding for Israel’s defense efforts and NATO is creating the “culture of dependency” that Republicans like to complain about domestically.

“You know what? Putin is NATO’s problem. Israel can take off the training wheels,” Maher said. “We got Guatemalan kids and Ebola on our border. We just can’t afford this sh*t anymore.”

CNBC host and New York Times financial columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin agreed with Maher that Israel didn’t technically need the $3.5 billion it gets from the U.S. — its gross domestic product (GDP) is growing faster than that of the U.S. — but argued that the U.S. continued to provide funding for both Israel and NATO as part of its efforts to buy political “friendships” internationally.

“If I paid your credit card, Bill, every single month, you’d take my phone call, I think,” Sorkin said.

- See? This is why I can never quit Bill Maher. Ham-fisted one minute -- and a surgical sledgehammer the next. Damn, he's he can be good.....

K&R!


We pay them $3.5 billion and they still talk down to our SecState like he's a piker. Well he is a piker, but that's not the point!
