Basically the way the government in Israel works whoever controls the government controls the funds. Obviously the party you chose to vote for is not in the government and therefore your funding was reduced. If anything you might have to thank Lipman for what you do have.
In America instead of forming our own party the Jews try to keep working relationships with each party and thus try to have some input with each party. If the Charedi tzibur cannot survive without these funds perhaps it’s time to disband the charedi parties and start to join the mainstream parties where they would carry a lot of clout in a primary with the numbers they make up.
In addition I read all over the frum websites that there was a massive campaign to raise the money the charedim were losing do to the budget cuts and distribute them to the charedi public – what happened to this fund? Hatzlacha!
