Yes, the cat is out of the bag: Let's do the math:

Over the last 10 years, only

Egypt $50 billion grants
Saudi Arabia $400 billion oil
Israel $30 billion grants
Other M.E. $30 billion grants

Total $500 billion

Now, if we boycott oil, weapons sales and grants other than food aid, that saves us $1/2 trillion.

Do you think we could afford to make up the difference in cost of oil, if any, from Canada, Russia, Texas, Alaska etc.?

Do you think we could then afford to defend ourselves against the extreme madness we help train and perpetrate?

The decision is this: Stop funding extreme madness among dysfunctional states.
Support only humanitarian aid through the UN. Reserve our treasury and lives for the United States.

Then fire Tom Ridge and get someone who has qualifications other than "buddy of George", give them a budget, and let's see some action on the homeland.
