Of course, there is one foreign aid program that is not proposed for cutting in anyone's plan: not Obama's, not House Republicans or Democrats. And it happens to be the largest single foreign assistance program of them all $3.5 billion in aid to Israel. As the Times puts it, defending this particular program shows that "even in times of austerity, some spending is inviolable." |
