US must reduce aid given to Israel, Republican candidate Ramaswamy says
Jerusalem Post ^ | 08/18/2023 | GABE FRIEDMAN

Posted on 08/20/2023 12:35:16 PM PDT by aimhigh

Vivek Ramaswamy, a long-shot contender for the Republican presidential nomination, said in an interview that the United States should reduce its aid to Israel.

In an interview on Rumble, a platform popular with far-right viewers, Ramaswamy said Israel should not get more aid than its Middle Eastern neighbors after 2028, the year that the current US aid package of $38 billion expires.

Vivek is just a globalist libertarian who does not care one bit about standing for freedom and Judeo-Christian values.

People need to wake up about this fast-talking phony.

“Ramasampy is aligning with trump as a campaign strategy to gain favor.”

Yep. Ramaswampy is the billionaires’ stalking horse in case Rhonda failed. It’s why in those memos the DeSantis strategists urged him to attack Ramaswampy. Vivek is trying to horn in on Rhonda’s grift.

Toss Taiwan under the bus. Toss Israel under the bus. I’m starting to get the feeling that defending democracies is not a priority. What might be a priority? Expanding H1-B visas would be my first guess.

I believe we have to cut down on all of this type of foreign aid. We must get our house in order.

When one is broke on the order of ten, twenty, or 200 times our annual tax revenues (depending on how you count debt) sending out this money and aid is akin to having an annual family income of $100,000, and being in debt for a million dollars, twenty million dollars, or $200 million dollars, and putting in a new swimming pool, buying a new car, or picking up the restaurant tab for 20 people at an expensive restaurant.

It is that irresponsible. And that is what we are doing.

As Milton Friedman famously said: “All Debts Get Paid.”

There are downsides to stopping this aid, that cannot be denied, though thoughtful people will differ on the seriousness and impact of stopping aid.

But stop it we must.

No foreign country should get any aid from US taxpayers.
Especially Israel.

Israel’s interests do not always align with America’s but they have been a very valuable ally. They were the first and one of the only Nations to support the USA after 9/11. Israel is our only dependable ally in the Middle East. We would be very foolish indeed to weaken those ties.
Israel is a small and geographically vulnerable country but in terms of military intelligence and the ability to forestall rogue nations from nuclear attacks there is no one better. For the aid we give them we receive value in return unlike the majority of the other nations we squander American $ on.

This is another indication of Ramaswamy’s total unsuitability as POTUS and frankly shocking. Seems more like an Obama, Biden position than one for a President who wants to keep America safe.
