Tea party-backed Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) isn’t sure that congressional Republicans have the guts to make the big budget cuts they’ve promised and, he said, members of the movement are becoming frustrated.
This thread may be somewhat controversial, but this isn't about abandoning Israel. If they are attacked, we have the capability to turn the nation that does so into a radioactive wasteland. But face it. Israel is a rich nation. Right now, we need the money more than they do. And beyond Israel, I like Paul's notion that we should be giving to America before giving to foreign nations. It's the American thing to do. We need to balance the budget, and as far as I am concerned, EVERYTHING is on the table, including money to nations that frankly don't need it.
