President Biden would veto a package put forward by House Republicans to provide aid to Israel while cutting funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and leaving out funding for other national security priorities, the White House said Tuesday.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) picked apart the House GOP proposal in a lengthy statement of administration policy, arguing it “inserts partisanship into support for Israel” and fails to meet the moment by leaving out humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza and aid for Ukraine and allies in the Indo-Pacific.
“This bill is bad for Israel, for the Middle East region, and for our own national security,” the OMB said.
The White House further asserted that the GOP proposal marks a break from bipartisan precedent by seeking funding cuts as part of an emergency national security package.
“Congress has consistently worked in a bipartisan manner to provide security assistance to Israel, and this bill threatens to unnecessarily undermine that longstanding approach,” the OMB said. “Bifurcating Israel security assistance from the other priorities in the national security supplemental will have global consequences.”
Tuesday’s statement from the OMB said the administration would continue to work with lawmakers in Congress to secure an agreement on the supplemental request put forward earlier this month by the White House.
The GOP package unveiled Monday would provide $14.3 billion in aid for Israel in its battle against Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza that carried out terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, which left roughly 1,400 Israelis dead.
The proposal would cut IRS funding included in the Inflation Reduction Act, a sweeping tax, health and climate bill signed into law last year as one of Biden’s signature policy accomplishments.

Let's see if the House resubmits it without the cut.
And it's got to get through the Senate first. And if it gets though the Senate, will Biden still veto...and go against the will of the people??
For every dollar of aid, there should be some cut in spending, starting with the IRS good.
How many best bill that would include funding for Israel, cuts for the IRS, and funding for the border wall would be OK
Just gotta love Siri autocorrect. /s
“bipartisan precedent” = “uniparty precedent”
Invoke the “hastert rule”. No funding for Ukraine.
In fact, no funding for Israel unless there is equal dollar for dollar expenditures on extending the wall in the same way that Trump upgraded it.
O’Biden’s veto would be awesome for republicans. Do it, Joe.
Pass the spending bill in the House.
Vote up/down in the Senate.
If passed, send to POTUS for signature, if not passed, Conference with Senate.
Revote in both Houses.
Back to POTUS for sig.
Try an an Override if no Prez sig.
That’s REGULAR ORDER.
That’s what we want.
Every rotten scoundrel and corrupt Swamp Creature on the record with a vote for specific bills, no Omnibus hidden crapola.
Then we can judge who gets the rope and who gets our vote.
Pass the spending bill in the House.
Vote up/down in the Senate.
If passed, send to POTUS for signature, if not passed, Conference with Senate.
Revote in both Houses.
Back to POTUS for sig.
Try an Override if no Prez sig.
+++++++++
This is exactly what must happen.
I am a senior.
I raised 5 kids to be successful and Godly adults
We started with nothing and never expected the government to take care of us.
We paid taxes. We served our country.
I remember WWII. We united against an enemy and won.
Today we have a leaderless, ungodly, government selling the citizens to the wind.. Letting the world invade our borders, bringing in terrorists, disease, and losing our freedoms and our greatness to the wind.
The unelected government is committing treason.. Exposing citizens to dangers and they don’t care
Never.. Never.. Did I ever think our United States would capitulate to surrender to the dark forces of control....
They have taken the election process and thrown it out..
Taken control over the top positions and installed their own controlled, power driven destructive edict on every person living in the land of the past free and brave....
I weep over this great land.. Destroyed by evil controlled ignorant thugs.
Bidet vetos it at his peril. The GOP must not waiver on this. Push it through then begin debates on the rest of the budget.
Better yet — let Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff explain to their rabbis why they oppose this legislation.
Does you butt ever get jealous of the crap you post?
” hold the line “
Yes ... now is the time ... this is the issue ..
The tide can turn if the line is held.
This battle will set the field.
Yes, Randman ... well said. Johnson and the House need to start sending “clean bills” to the Senate. Hopefully the American people will start seeing the light and assist the Republican from sending pork-ladened, bundled bills for funding unnecessary hidden boondoggles inside necessary spending bills. But of course the left Press (redundancy alert) will likely demonize the R’s over that also.
Veto it Joe. I’m sure Mike Johnson would love to take 6 to 8 months and really study the problem. After 10 months a new bill would be ready.
LET him? And, let him have full responsibility for it!
Make the Democrats and Biden vote against it, then take the full text of the bill, which should be no longer than two pages to the public. Publish it on the Internet. Let everyone see it, and let everyone see who's enabling Hamas, Iran, etc.. by voting No on it, and Biden' vetoing it.
Expose the rat bastards.
Then do the exact same thing on Ukraine.
Their “ rabbi” is satan
Translation: ‘Bifurcation’ for call-out support will be vetoed. No inclusion of Ukraine - VETO, period.
UKR’s Zelensky must have some awfully powerful evidence of Biden’s bribery/money crimes wrt Ukraine for Biden to risk the wrath of Israel supporting Democrats in Congress. The kind of evidence that could actually put him in jail, IMO.
AFAIC, with UKR there are no goal posts, no incremental transition points of progress, no rigorous fiscal accountability - nothing. Pizzing money and arms down a rat hole.
Make him do it.!! Maybe some of the Jews would start voting for republicans, for a change.....maybe.
Maybe they should start with Harvard. It's about as "Grassroots" as you can get.
