How about we let American taxpayers keep their money and decide for themselves how to spend it?

Don't make me laugh. How much of your tax money do you get to personally designate as to its use? "Oh, I don't want my tax money to pay for building housing for illegals", "I don't want my tax money to pay for Ukraine's entire government expenses", "I don't want my money to pay for welfare for able bodied ghetto dwellers", etc. When and how do American taxpayers keep their money and decide for themselves how to spend it? Only apparently when it comes to Israel, in your case.

Who said "only" in the case of Israel?

Please don't put words in my mouth. This thread is about Israel. It if were about Covid relief, student loans, or whatever other kind of spending, the same would apply.

Opposition to welfare has long been a conservative principle.

Rush Limbaugh often said, "Democrats want to spend your money. Republicans want YOU to decide how YOU spend YOUR own money."

Of course, when you're talking about welfare for Israel then, apparently, conservative principles no longer apply.

The Left often says, "Let's print and spend more money, because the money will be spent in the U.S. which will boost the economy.

Conservatives never accept that argument. Yet it's the same argument you make for aid to Israel. "Oh, the money will be spent in the U.S.! Great for our economy!"

You're the one making the exceptions to conservative principles, not me.

How about not being a coward and posting that here in the open?

Also have you noticed only people who are anti-communist are called “anti-semetic”? Interesting how that works...
