The bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate, however, where Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called it a "joke" on Thursday morning.

"It still mystifies me that at a moment when the world is in crisis, at a time when we need to help Israel respond to Hamas, the House GOP thought it was a good idea to tie Israel aid to a hard right proposal that will raise the deficit and is totally, totally partisan," Schumer said.

Chuckles should vote no.

The idea that the IRS will capture tax cheats....is totally a projection...just like climate change via man.

Yo Chuck. This passed with your precious bipartisan support.

Did anyone happen to ask him to explain how this would add to the deficit?

They don't believe that U.S. tax dollars should go to a foreign nation that's already sitting on over $200 billion in reserves and has free healthcare for their citizens?

IRS funding cuts actually make the deficit worse, so not much of an offset there.

I think they both oppose any money going to any foreign country. I tend to agree with them.

Ah, there it is. Didn't take long for some simp to post it.

What has Israel done with the prior $3 billion a year we have given them?

Me too. We borrow money just to give it away to other countries.

I cannot imagine, but! am AMAZED that TWELVE Democrats voted with the Republicans!
Someone may be able to dispute it - but, I cannot remember a time before 2008 that more than One voted their own mind!

Now Chuckie is faced with a BIPARTISAN Israel funding bill.

He’ll change his tune, gradually at first.

Then suddenly.

It’s was explained profusely yesterday and today. The bill is 14.5 or so...and cutting agents means they will not catch tax cheats worth 26.5

Sounds like Israel should be giving money to the USA - not the other way around.

I second that.
