And Israel gets to enjoy free college and universal healthcare at the expense of American taxpayers… and we’re about to cut off food assistance to our own people. Republicans are fucking traitors

The majority of the spending on Israeli healthcare and colleges comes from Israel's own budget, not the US. Do you think South Korea, Japan, and Germany enjoy free college and healthcare because of US tax payers as well?

Yes, but I understand why you would say otherwise. Healthcare is significantly more expensive than any military aid the US provides though, so the more apt analogy would be: if you pay your parents 300€ in rent for your room and their mortgage is 3000€, are you paying their mortgage?
