Why should the United States keep subsidizing people who can't take time away from religious studies to make sure their country is defended and to make an equal contribution to society?
-- It doesn't take a million people to examine the depths of the Torah. I'm sure some are sincere but there's an awful lot of scamming going on as well.
-- It's perfectly possible to do military or other work that contributes to society and to the economy and to study at night and on the Sabbath.
-- Israel could not afford to keep supporting these people were it not for American taxpayers. It is especially offensive that they are subsidized to have five or seven children when people working normal jobs cannot afford to.
