Rock on Rand, but stick to flying commercial aircraft if you truly understand what you have just done.

Rand's father Ron Paul has advocated for this as well.

A benefit of the apron strings being cut, would be a freer Israel to pursue policy without our interference.

Getting serious about the budget?

How much of the federal budget is foreign aid?

This is known as 'political suicide". Surely, he's on AIPAC's hit list now.
That, is why, we have bad politicians in this country.

What are you talking about? Israel takes our money and then does whatever they want to anyway.

Absolutely. What I find funny is that a growing number of Zionist movements in Israel are advocating exactly this position but we never hear about them in our press. Yet if you read the Jerusalem Post or Haaretz, you can read these sentiments almost daily.

That's a blanket statement I disagree with.

Regardless, are you for or against continuing this arrangement?
