11 freshman GOP support aid for Israel

Even as they push for huge spending cuts, 11 freshman GOP senators say the U.S. 

Their position contrasts with that of fellow freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a tea-party favorite whose budget proposal scraps all $60 billion in annual foreign aid funding, including money for Israel.

“I think they’re an important ally, but I also think that their per capita income is greater than probably three-fourths of the rest of the world,” Paul told ABC News in February. “Should we be giving free money or welfare to a wealthy nation? I don’t think so.”
