“We certainly shouldn’t borrow $100 billion from our kids and our grandkids for additional foreign aid,” Good said during an appearance on Newsmax’s “National Report.” “We ought to be supporting Israel unequivocally and not waffling on that at all. We’ve got $4 billion in aid that’s already been passed out of the House that is waiting for the Senate to pass that out of the defense and homeland security bills that we have passed.”

“Israel support should stand alone,” he said. “Americans and members of Congress are almost unanimously united in supporting Israel, and so we shouldn’t package that together with $100 billion of borrowing that wouldn’t pass on its own.”
