Susan Rice Assures Israel of ‘Largest Military Aid Package in American History (http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/peace-and-prosperity/2016/june/08/susan-rice-assures-israel-of-largest-military-aid-package-in-american-history/)'

National Security Adviser Susan Rice centered the speech on pledges of a record military aid package being agreed to soon. The aid package, which Rice reiterated would be the “single largest military assistance package – with any country – in American history (http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.723578),” is expected to be between $37.5 and $40 billion over the next decade, which Rice said proved increasing aid to Israel isn’t a partisan issue in the US, but “an enduring American interest.”
The US had initially offered a $40 billion deal which required the Israeli government to promise (http://news.antiwar.com/2016/04/18/us-aid-deal-would-make-israel-promise-not-to-lobby-congress-for-more/)not to lobby the US Congress for more money during the 10-year plan, but this was rejected by Netanyahu. Other offers ... have similarly been spurned.
Of course, because Washington has so much surplus sitting in the National Treasury. Why they have over -$19,000,000,000,000 officially, and $80+ trillion debt via GAAP.
