I know how important their Military Bases are for USA....but, this amount seems very high for us USA Taxpayers to deal with.....????

Jordan also fared remarkably well, with a $1.275 billion allotment — 25% more than what the State Department had requested. Egypt, meanwhile, gets mixed results: The bill retains the $1.3 billion in annual military aid but sets new conditions for its release, which the secretary of state may waive for national security reasons.
