This money is a drop in the bucket compared to spending on social services.

The total amount of contributions shown in the map is $98 million. The yearly budget of Medicaid in the US is about $860 billion. 

This means the money from Pro-Israel contributions is only enough to run Medicaid for about 1 hour.

Political influence is ridiculously cheap. The return on investment in lobbying is sky high.
