Foreign Aid Infographic

In before the holiday lockdown! 

I don't know anything about the group that put this together. Some of the numbers look right, but there is some stuff I've never seen in a US budget breakdown before, like "income security" and "health". I would have thought they would be part of Social Security and Medicare or general social services. Have I just not noticed these on govt disseminated budget breakdowns, or are they some kind of newspeak all the progressive kids are using nowadays?

For Israel and Egypt, isn't a big chunk of their foreign aid money from us either war materials or money that they must spend buying US armaments?  So we are essentially routing a check to General Dynamics, et al through the foreign aid budget?

They forgot another reason for our foreign aid: under-the-table kickbacks.
