$1.3B goes to millitary aid, the rest is in humanitarian programs like USAID:

In 1999, the United States and Egypt agreed to a ten-year plan to facilitate Egypt's transition to a self-sustaining market economy. The plan emphasizes promoting job creation, investing in people, and optimizing use of human and natural resources. It focuses on increasing mutual trade and attracting more investment to Egypt, while at the same time developing a more productive and better-trained workforce. Continuing infrastructure investments, protecting the environment and natural resources, strengthening health and family planning services, promoting citizen participation, and expanding and improving educational opportunities are all areas of mutual concern.
98% of Egyptians hate the US. It's a much higher number than hate their own government. How are we doing exactly what you want in Egypt, and it's having exactly the opposite result?
