Then you should read Washington's Farewel Address.
I don't get the freeloader position that the U.S. should borrow billions, pay the interest into perpetuity, all for the benefit of foreign nations.
$38 billion for Israel, how much for the wall?
Perhaps a part of that 38 bil should include the Israelis designing the security devices for the southern border apparatus. And helping us man it. Eventually the northern border, too, because that is a problem potentially as big.
I am very familiar with Washington’s caveats on foreign entanglements. His positions in that regard were admirable for his time, but the world has in effect shrunk to 1/10 its size in 1800, while its population has grown 10X its size in 1800. Meanwhile, an ideological divide has completely overtaken the world and it breaks out at least 3 ways: communism, islam, and the US Constitution.
There have been two all-out world wars; then the cold war and now a 4th stanza, state-sponsored radical islamic terror.
But you know all this and I’m not trying to be pedantic. I’m just saying that, if Washington were alive today, he would see that some exceptions to isolationism are in order.
Israel we can afford, and must. The wall, too. It’s the billions and billions we waste on countless other things, given to enemy governments, and that are stolen that need to be addressed.
