have you ever loaned money to a person knowing you may never see the money again..
especially when you are not doing well financially yourself?
but felt they really need some help?
only to find out right after they received the money they just went out and blew it on something stupid and totally unneeded?
like a new tattoo?
if that didn't outrage most Americans...
then the tattoo part will? (well not really a tattoo)
it is not like Egypt is cowering in a corner..
sure.. forgive the $billion in debt.. they need it.. in the meantime they are out buying 2 subs for a $billion..

Obama administration nears agreement with Egypt's new government as Washington seeks to help Cairo shore up ailing economy
Obama first pledged economic help for Cairo last year. Obstacles remained to completing the debt relief deal – which is reported to involve a mix of debt payment waivers and complicated debt swaps – and it was not immediately clear when an agreement might be announced.

The IMF chief, Christine Lagarde, visited Cairo last month to discuss the matter.
Egypt's military-appointed interim government had been negotiating a $3.2bn (£2bn) package before it handed power to Morsi on 30 June. Morsi's government then increased the request.
