I'M OK WITH THIS

Sen. Rand Paul states very clearly that there are some burdens the U.S. should no longer bear:

Time to end foreign aid to Israel: ‘We just can’t do it anymore,’ Sen. Paul warns

One of the Senate's newest members has settled upon an idea to reduce American debt that's likely to come off as highly controversial in the halls of power: ending all foreign aid, including the tens of billions dedicated to Israel.

That's got to stop, according to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who told CNN host Wolf Blitzer recently that with such a crushing economic picture in the US, "we just can't do it anymore."

This doesn't sit well with one prominent GOP hack:

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), the highest ranking Jewish member of Congress, played down any talk of cutting foreign aid payments to Israel.

"I've always said that any aid to foreign countries should pass the test of whether it helps support the security of the United States," he recently told AFP.

Cantor added that it was "very clear" Israel was waging "the same war against radical Islam that we are in," and therefore passed his test.
