Since Hosni Mubarak came into power in 1981, U.S. taxpayers have sent more than $60 billion in aid to his government — but more than half was spent on weapons for the military, “an arrangement that critics say has benefited American military contractors more than ordinary Egyptians.” Major contracts went to GE Aviation and Raytheon, among other firms.
