Those would be the same "American taxpayers" who are now being told that they have to suffer cuts in Medicare and Social Security because of budgetary constraints, who are watching as the most basic social services (the hallmark of being a developed country) are being rapidly abolished (from the 12th Grade to basic care for children, the infirm and elderly), and are burdened with a national debt so large that America's bond ratings are being degraded by the minute. Why should those same American taxpayers bear the enormous costs of Israel's military purchases (as Israel enjoys booming economic growth)? Especially if the issue is presented as cleanly and honestly as Scherer did here, and especially if Israel continues to extend its proverbial middle finger to even the most basic U.S. requests that it cease activities that harm American interests, how much longer can this absurdity be sustained?
Better give it to them. With our current leadership, I am sure the Israelis could probably take us over if they wanted.
Thanks to Obama's healthcare reform, the US will no longer be able to "aid" Israel with billions of US taxpayers' money every year. Perhaps Obama is an evil genius after all.
I'll believe that - when I see it
Notice how Obama's meeting with Netanyah was behind closed doors. When the US gives A Country this much aid,
there needs to be more transparency. US citizens are
entitled to it - it's our TAX Dollars they are giving away.
I never hear anyone decry the aid to Egypt. Why is that?
Because aid to Egypt is just an extension of aid to Israel. Egypt is Israel's #1 puppet in the Middle East and that's why it only received this financial support once it agreed to live beneath Israel.

As the article by GG mentions....
They want to keep this out of the public eye....because when the US public hears about what we are getting for our money...Israel loses support.
That's why Lieberman and Steve Israel are asking that the Administraion refrain from open public criticism of Israel.

Yet we never hear criticism of Egypt getting aid. Even while Egypt supplies Palestinians with weapons and aid. Why is that?
I personally think this Health Care Reform debate e.g. cost of, reduced debt etc is being used as a distraction. If the US reigned in all this outside spending, you'd be surprised what the American Citizens could do with Our tax dollars at HOME.
A Hint - Our social programs wouldn't be broke.
