““Has the United States been blessed for its critical role in Israel’s re-birth? Financially, America has certainly prospered. In the intervening 65 years since 1948, America has grown by 1,500%. In 1948 the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States was just over $1 trillion dollars. In 2012 America’s GDP had grown to over $15.6 trillion per year. In the same period, the nation also enjoyed a time of great freedom, though what Americans have done with that freedom is another issue.””
