→Forget oil and other lobbies. No.1 lobby: ARAB ISLAMIC Qatar: 100 Billion dollars (with a B)
:Which raises 2 questions or issues: (a) Do we pay them rent, or do they pay us protection [[money]] (which is not well spent given the failure to protect them during the attack from Israel); (b) are the bases just showrooms and service centers for the [[military industrial complex]] (for expensive junk that doesn't work when you need it)?

::(Oh, I forgot - we don't have bases in [[France]] since 1966 when they kicked us out as thanks for 25,000 American dead for saving them in the [[Normandy Invasion]]). We have to ask permission to fly over from [[Germany]] to bomb their spere of influence in [[Libya]] or [[Nigeria]]).

Of course, we don't need bases anymore (except for refueling) now that we have supercarriers which can wiped out in a heartbeat by a [[hypersonic]], [[Oreshnik]], [[Buresevnik]], or Russian Posiedan. So we may need the $100 Billion to fund a [[New Cold War]] and [[arms race]] for a few years or decades since we're already pay $1 Trillion in [[interest]] on the [[debt]] every 90 days.
