Actually I am all for ending ALL foreign aid.

That sounds good but it's just not practical. RuPaul's proposal would not lower our budget deficit. By abandoning Israel while its enemies are gaining strength, the risk of a major war in the ME would increase. A major war would cost the U.S. billions and billions of dollars as we have already seen in Iraq and Afghanistan. We could, of course, not assist our ally and watch as Iran achieves its goal of wiping her off the map. I, for one, am not about to condone turning our backs on the only real democracy in the ME.

Bullcrap. What is not practical is saying that this nation is so broke that we have to charge vets for their medical care and gut medicare and social security, raise taxes at the same time we are borrowing money from the red chinese and sending it overseas in the form of “aid.” THAT is not practical nor is it intelligent.
