If Congress sends $14.5 billion to Israel, on average we’ll be taking about $100 from every working person in the United States.
This will be extracted through inflation and taxes.
I’m against it.

“I get it the USA is broke. $14B is actually something I can get behind. OTH 99.9% of the time it is a waste of money. This is not one of those times, it is not a waste.”
Easy to say when it is not even your money and you don’t have to pay it back. You are spending away my Grandkid’s future because THEY are who will have to cover that debt not you, you get off with a free ride.
OK, Someone put in the figures what the illegals crossing the border is costing each American.
What is the monthly cost for welfare?
What is the monthly cost for the EV Grants?
It’s just a principled position
Wow, 99.9% of the time spending is waste. IMO This is not one of those times. This is a bargain. A no brainer.
“Are you in favor of an across the board tariff to help balance the budget and promote domestic industry?”
Different topic, don’t try to distract and deflect.
If I could ask my unborn granchildren 50 years from now “was it a good idea to send Israel money to fight terrorists that cut off baby heads even though at the time the USA was in dire financial shape”, what would they tell me?
No it’s not, you worried about debt. Nothing pays of federal debt like a tariff.
“This is a bargain.”
Since they will have to pay for it do my Grandchildren get to make that decision?
He's worse than they are because he's obviously a hell of a lot stupider. Just some mouth breather strung out on his own emotions.
“what would they tell me?”
They will thank you for having to pay 80% of their income to the government as taxes and live in a shack.
Are we now actually moving up from 4th grade and hinting of an adult conversation here?
Israel has the resources it needs to take care of itself. They find it convenient to sponge off Americans because so many have holocaust guilt or else a nutty religious take on fast tracking the parousia.
Wow, You didn’t answer my question making you a coward.
Those new jack boots fit snug? Just kidding....
If it meant the destruction of Hamas and the dissolution of a Palestinian Gaza, then yes. I’d go for that.
Those of us naively believing in government of, by, and for the people are having to come
to grips with the fact that the US has foreign masters who are not very reasonable people.
US taxpayers get the multi $$billion dollar bills, gun grabbing, disappearing safety and security,
while the foreigner get terrific publicity, unlimited arms, and ALWAYS win. ALWAYS
The deficit chicken hawks are penny wise and pound foolish. The ironic thing is probably some of them are Jewish. LOL!!
Does the same go for Ukraine?
What you're saying is certainly true with respect to the SARS-COV-2 pandemic and the government response thereto.
I do imagine that a lot of the pro-Israel sentiment here (when it isn't coming from evangelical clods who can't read their Bibles properly) could very well be shills for "deep state" arms merchant types.
Although, I suspect that the particular person in view in this particular thread is just an aging, brain-dead asshole.
“Wow, You didn’t answer my question making you a coward.”
Just about the time I was going to give you some credit for attempting to have an adult conversation you throw it all away and revert right back to 4th grade insults again.
When you run out of intelligent dialog and have to fall back on 4th grade tactics you have lost the debate.

A top advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly admitted that corruption is so rampant in the wartorn former Soviet state that officials are “stealing like there’s no tomorrow”.
Speaking anonymously to Time magazine, what is alleged to be a top presidential advisor to Zelensky said that the Ukrainian government’s efforts to stamp out corruption have proved fruitless, given that they were implemented too late to have any impact, including the firing of Minister of Defense Oleksii Reznikov.
