House GOP Unveils Bill to Fund Israel by Cutting IRS Budget

House Republicans on Monday introduced a plan to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel by cutting funding for the Internal Revenue Service, setting up a showdown with Democrats who control the Senate.

In one of the first major policy actions under new House Speaker Mike Johnson, Republicans unveiled a standalone supplemental spending bill only for Israel, despite Democratic President Joe Biden's request for a $106 billion package that would include aid for Israel, Ukraine and border security.

Johnson, who voted against aid for Ukraine before he was elected House speaker last week, had said he wanted aid to Israel and Ukraine to be handled separately. He has said he wants more accountability for money that has been sent to the Kyiv government as it fights Russian invaders.

Cutting those 87,000 new agents is a good start.

Wow, that is going to cut across the leftist Zeitgeist. Bigly.

But the 4-D chess move would have been to fund Ukraine by cutting the IRS budget.

Ping to # 3.

Finally! We've got the right team....

How about -14.3 billion for the IRS, and zero for Israel and Ukraine?

I love it. Next request for funds for say Ukraine cut from say the Dept of Education.

“But the 4-D chess move would have been to fund Ukraine by cutting the IRS budget.“

You would think but the rats would use some reconciliation trickery and we’d end with both.

Didn’t see that one coming. I was pleasantly surprise instead of my usual disgust with the spineless legislature. Talk about boxing them into a corner. Every democratic senator who votes against will have instant campaign adds against them.

Kudos for the speaker for showing a set instead of the usual castrati.

Omg that same Lerner?
