The bill would also claw back billions of dollars in unspent pandemic relief and cut IRS funding by more than $20 billion over two years.

Mr. Biden secured a win by keeping domestic spending flat for the upcoming fiscal year in the face of GOP calls for at least $130 billion in immediate cuts. Both sides found bipartisan agreement on boosting defense spending by more than $26 billion.

It takes two writers at the Washington Times to put lipstick on a pig.

[adorno]

I’m not getting it.

Is the IRS funding cut against the current IRS budget, or against the budget that included adding 87,000 IRS agents to the agency?

[piasa]

I doubt if it is truly cut. Usually by this politicians merely mean a cut in the rate of increase, in other words, theirony budget still grows every year.

So the current national debt is $32 Trillion, and now all Congress and Biden have to do is not run the national debt up more than $36 Trillion by January, 2025. That's about $4 Trillion in 19 months.

Everybody who voted for this, or supports it, should be required to sign over all of their assets and savings, and live on credit card debt only. I wonder which network news show will present the results this way.

I support all bills and measures that bring us closer to global, economic collapse. This bill is on the right track.

Kabuki theater complete. America can now happily go on pissing away our nations future, and continue slowly handing it over to communists.

The 63-36 vote came only days before the June 5 deadline by which Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had warned the debt limit must be raised to avert a first-ever default on the nation’s ability to pay its debts.

Must be nice to be able to just “raise the debt limit” to avoid defaulting on your debts. I’m sure a lot of us wish we could do that.

The merchants of death win again.

Bipartisan support == mass murder for profit.

IRS funding to be cut by more than $20 billion

Hummm.

Sounds too good to be true.

Suspect the Devil is in the Details.

Probably a cut of 20 billion after four successive raises of 100 Billion.

[gitmo]

We are increasing aid to Communist China a d simultaneously borrowing more from them.

[Sam Gamgee]

It cost 20 billion to operate the IRS? The USA is a big country but that seems like a lot of money.
