And restore funds to social security and restore the Obamacare subsidies. If that's too expensive then undo the tax cuts for the rich and corporations.

If they can't undo the tax cuts then just pull out of the Iran war. We helped Israel this far, they can finish their war if they want to.

By the way, How much has Israel spent so far on this war? How much munitions have they expended? How are they paying for it? They have their own defense budget and defense industry and the United States has been giving about $3.8 billion each to Egypt and Israel since the end of the Yom Kippur war.
