Help me understand the foreign aid and problems at home dichotomy

I know I can’t fight city hall, but I’m just wondering how in the world our government would send billions of dollars in aid to Israel while our teachers and schools are being fired and closed?

I get that budgets determine ans all that… but how the frick does someone agree to send BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to allies (or shite, anyone for that matter) while there are so many vital issues that need attention at home?

I know I’m overly simplifying my disgust, so I’m want to understand how it happens on the regular?

I mean shite! Our own fricking country shuts down every 10 years or so… I wonder if that $90+ aid package money could have been used more responsibly within our borders?

Hmmm.

Not trolling.. but people make that argument all the time “Why are we sending money blah blah blah” and I for the life of me can’t think of a single, logical, and reasonable reason to do so… and I’m normally the “devils advocate” guy explaining why shite sucks because of the government…

But in this, I’m fricking lost.
