I have been thinking about the horrendous cost of the U.S. support forIsrael.
H. Kissinger in an answer to why so much financial support for Israel replied "it costs less than maintaining the sixth fleet in the Mediterranean"

what i find is that at any time one discovers ontology one discovers that marx has an ontological foundation and a metaphysic or that the price and the profit rate are something of a histrorical permutation from a subject/object relationship.
