If all Lapid was worried about was paying the bills, he would be advocating austerity.
Why should the poor working class lose out because other people decide to sit on their backsides all day and do nothing? (From the secular point of view). Why should we support Americans learning in Mir (to the tune of 43M NIS a year) when army vets can’t afford apartments in Netanya or Ashdod?
As I said originally (and I know you disagree), had the Charaidim offered to stop taking funding (including funding that others get for being poor, since they are poor by choice) in exchange for dropping the draft of Yeshiva students, they would be in the coalition today.
