I like minimal government too. It has a few necessary roles, and foreign aid isn't one. Why are we recognizing that with Ukraine, and Mozambique but not Israel?

I like minimal government too. It has a few necessary roles, and foreign aid isn't one. Why are we recognizing that with Ukraine, and Mozambique but not Israel? Keeping the free market working by trust-bustingbis one too. I welcome a true house cleaning, but we are just trading regulatory capture for unregulated corruption. You wanted the land of do as you please, but got the land of do as they please. This is just an authoritarian power grab under the guise of renewal. I could be wrong, but as others have said, the proof will be in how the response to legal challenges to the house cleaning go. If they are ignored or rubber stamped by the scotus no matter how obviously they violate the law, then we know I am right. If some of the move fast and break things gets stopped by the scotus, or the admin backs down when things get challenged as illegal, then maybe this is exactly what we needed. I am not hopeful. Edit: I think I was being disingenuous about foreign aid, sometimes foreign aid can be necessary to protect the well-being of US citizens. Stopping pandemics early or preventing them. Standing by a treaty so people know our word is good. Maintaining access to a resource our economy depends on etc. I just find it telling that the only foreign aid that was exempted was to Israel.
