Israeli Loan and Peace Talks

I am one American who is sick and tired of paying for “politically correct” causes that serve to benefit the politicians rather than the taxpayers. The latest is the $10-billion housing loan guarantee that certain congressmen want to hand out to Israel immediately in spite of President Bush’s plea to wait four months. Most of the so-called Jewish refugees from the Soviet Union are, admittedly, leaving decent jobs and decent housing only because of their “uncertainty about the future.” Well, there are many people in this country with no jobs and no housing who harbor an even greater fear concerning the uncertainty of the future. These congressmen had better learn that charity begins at home.
