The far-left Democrats forced out provisions to fund Israel’s Iron Dome from the continuing resolution (CR) that would keep the government funded and raise the debt ceiling, according to reports.

This is as far as I got, because I have to make sure I got this right....

Funding intended for another country's defense was forced out of a bill that's supposed to address our debt ceiling.... and we have a problem with that?


On top of that, I think I get perplexed sometimes that people (especially on the right) are upset about the level of spending - which I actually think is understandable - but then also get upset that we're pulling funding for something that is external.

To another point, I think Rafael is the chief contractor behind the Iron Dome. They are as money-grubbing and corrupt a company as I have ever seen. I'd have to go find it, but I remember seeing something about how extremely exorbitant their profit margins were.
