<<Paltry? Let calculate.

A Stealth bomber like the one lost over Serbia costs $40,000,000.

Let's divide $7,000,000,000 by $40,000,000.

That amounts to 175 Steatlh bombers given to Israel every year!

Paltry means almost worthless. I think paltry is the wrong word.>>

Paltry compared to a 1.5 trillion dollar budget, quite paltry. Paltry even in the face of the billions in total we give in aid to all benefiary nations. And I hope you are not implying that the US is selling Stealth bombers to Israel...
