Only way I’d support this is if you also cap beneficiaries.
If one promise about funding caps is going to be broken, resulting in a massive tax hike, then other promises can be broken.
Younger Americans should not have to pay more so a retired millionaire can buy an extra boat.
“We didn’t give them money we just unfroze their money.”
“They promised they’d only spend it on humanitarian supplies. I’m sure they’re very trustworthy.”
“I’ll ignore the $400m pallet of cash delivered by the last Democrat administration.”
Complete idiocy.
As we watch this horrible situation in Israel unfold, Americans must face a stark truth: our tax dollars funded this.
Money is fungible, and many of the dollars we sent to Iran are being used to now kill innocent people.
This must stop.
Israel has every right to defend itself. I wish our friends well, but most of all I wish they weren’t fighting against weapons bought with our money.
He’s a hateful liar. I’m not a huge AIPAC fan — they are establishment deluxe — but all they do is support a strong US-Israel relationship and they’ve supported every effort at peace. Mamdani demonizes them in conspiratorial terms. He’s supports Hamas. A smiling Nazi sympathizer
NEW: Abdullah Hajizadeh Sadeghi, the Supreme Leader’s representative to the IRGC, says Iran will never befriend the United States or abandon its goal of eliminating Israel. He said negotiations are meant to secure Iran’s demands, not reconciliation, adding that “our primary option is the battlefield, not negotiations.”
There is genuinely nothing more disheartening in this world than running into Mamdani and overhearing people talk about how loved and how amazing he is while he’s actively working to undermine all of the institutions that we have spent hundreds of years putting together.
Everything the American experiment stands for he stands against and yet you have people from all corners cheering him on.
They will smile at you as they lead you into hell.
The guy's job is basically just to fix potholes and make sure the street sweepers and snow plows are all working and he cannot stop talking about the Jews overseas.
The problem with Mamdani is not that he criticizes Israel. The problem is that he criticIzes no one else. His wife's country is ruled by an Islamist dictatorship that persecutes minorities. I've not heard him say a word against them, Sudan, Afghanistan, or Pakistan. How come?
The fact that every politician’s post on this website about anything financial is at the intelligence level of a baked potato does not inspire confidence in government as a capital allocator. If you think confiscating slightly more $ will fix any problems, you’re as dumb as them
