In the movie Fahrenheit 911, Moore was interviewing someone who knew about government spending and policy and he told Moore that the Arab countries had a big piece of the US already (maybe a trillion). It was something like 6 or 7 percent, I believe. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the movie.
They were standing outside an Arab embassy. Secret service agents came up to them to find out what they were doing. They said it was surprising that the Arabs had secret service agents guarding them (as opposed to maybe private security or whatever) and that they had more guards than any other ambassador.
In another part of the movie, they talked about how the Arabs were paying them over a billion over 20 years and how the normal pay for a president is 250k or 300k per year, or whatever it is. The point he was making was “who’s your daddy?”
I’d have to watch the movie again to get the figures right, and maybe that’s a good idea.
