$100 from every working American to Israel
Twitter/X ^ | Oct 31 | Rep. Thomas Massie

Posted on 10/31/2023 6:31:57 AM PDT by RandFan

@RepThomasMassie

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.

Yet you don’t complain about billions to The Ukraine. You are only worried about supporting Israel. Thanks for identifying yourself.

Centeral VA seems to be another paid, deep-state troll. Who knows, maybe he’s so deluded, he does it for free

They are getting really desperate because the half-life of their statist nonsense is become shorter and shorter

There are a few such as yourself who have been consistent

Being fiscal conservative you cannot pick and choose!

You have to hold the line.

It is common sense to support Isreal at this time. We can argue $14B is too much OR TO LITTLE but this is different. If you can't see that you have NO MORAL COMPASS. You are lost.

Wow, you can’t see this is different at all? Remove the beam from your eyes.

You tacitly sympathize with terrorists and I am statist. What a morning.

Everything is a great big mess.

I heard a “Carolyn” reporter say Israel is willing to buy weapons. She said they have the money but not the bunker busters that only US has. I’m ok with that as long as we have enough for our military. I do not know who is credible.

Look we are all horrified by what happened on Oct 7. But the US is essentially bankrupt and on the verge of hyperinflation or default. Israel’s economy is in much better shape than ours and can finance this without additional money from us. It’s not only Israel we’ve been on the hook for billions in aid to Jordan & Egypt so that they play “nice” with Israel. Not to mention the aid we’ve sent to the Palestinians. We are BROKE! We are printing money we don’t have. And you just want us to continue with this irresponsible spending.

I have often wondered the following:

i) FR either has defense contractors or people working for them posting nonsense

ii) It’s Deep State, FIB or whoever

iii) Maybe they just own defense contractor stock so have an interest

Because sometimes what I see here doesn’t make sense otherwise.

I think they have a right to their opinion. But when they try to belittle at an immature level with childish derogatory insults instead of having an adult conversation it discredits their own argument. They are not doing themselves or their stance any favors with this tactic. Last thing this nation needs are children steering the narrative.

I love civilization. This was an attack on the civilized world.

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. YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR GD BRAIN.

$9/mo to let the IDF eradicate a terrorist hotbed. Sounds like a bargain to me. A steal.

Indeed!

“Why do you hate America!?”

Better question:

“Why do you hate your own Grandchildren?”

Because our own Grandchildren will be the ones who will pay the most. We are enslaving them and throwing away their future security with these perpetual wars.

Israel and Ukraine will get the funding. But we can’t keep this up without cuts. Our Southern border crisis is not sustainable. What and when is the end?

Are you in favor of an across the board tariff to help balance the budget and promote domestic industry?

I can’t speak for euram but I have seen/posted dozens of threads panning aid to Ukraine.

In fact, FR has been very active on that front and it looks like the GOP has got the message

There are only a FEW of us who are against ALL aid including to Israel. Not many threads I don’t think.

This has huge support here and generally but it doesn’t mean you can’t be against it or point out the pitfalls.

PG88 and Liz have posted staggering numbers in the few threads we’ve had.

You should read and study them.

This is different, can't you see that? This makes you deficit hawks look like robotic knee jerk idiots which is a shame because in the main you are correct.
