House Republicans on Monday unveiled a piece of legislation that would provide Israel with $14.3 billion in military aid, a strong show of support for Israel’s onslaught in Gaza.
The bill would cut $14.3 billion from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to pay for the military aid to Israel, an aspect of the legislation criticized by the White House and some Democrats in Congress.
“Demanding offsets for meeting core national security needs of the United States—like supporting Israel and defending Ukraine from atrocities and Russian imperialism—would be a break with the normal, bipartisan process and could have devastating implications for our safety and alliances in the years ahead,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
The White House is also unhappy that the GOP bill separates the $14.3 billion for Israel from the massive $105 billion package requested by President Biden that includes spending for Ukraine, Taiwan, and the border.
The House Rules Committee is set to take up the legislation on Wednesday. Due to the IRS cuts and lack of Ukraine funding, it could fail to make it through the Democrat-controlled Senate. The bill is one of the first to be introduced under new House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who vowed to make supporting Israel his first priority when he was elected.
Cutting money from the IRS so more rich people can cheat on their taxes…and giving the money to Israel to kill more Palestinians. We sure have our head screwed on straight as a country, don’t we?
Rich people do not all cheat, the vast majority follow the tax law, as written by the DC Ghouls. You sound like a marxist pal.
I think you’ve just demonstrated that you don’t have the slightest idea what Marxism is. Of course, there’s a lot of that going around. It seems to be contagious.
You are mistaken pal. But I agree there are a lot of Marxist in the USA, U sound like one.
No, I’m not a Marxist, but I have read Marx and greatly admire much of his work and analysis. As for you, you’re not worth wasting scarce electrons on, so I’m banishing you from my screens.
The rich, the oligarchs, wrote the laws to suit their interests. They legalized their crimes, nothing new about that.
Yes I am sure they had much to do with it, but the laws were passed by bought off Dems and Republicans and those are the people the citizen voters must PURGE. You down with that? Hope so.
That requires another civil war, close to the civil rights movement in the 60s.
Well it may start in the big city with the poor and minorities taking to violence and riot, and then spread across the country with what is left of the middle class joining in,,maybe like the summer of 2020 and Jan. 6th but much more vast and even more violent………………then collapse and wholesale purges, across the board. Then I would predict 3 or 4 new nations form from what was once the failed USA.
I went through recent data and a long article that demonstrated that the IRS is still targeting the poor under Biden. The supposed “ increase” in audits in those of wealth were letters mailed and quickly dispensed with, not actual audits.
LOl….the little but effective Hamas and maybe the support of Hizbollah may bring USA to financial ruin and USA’s support of Ukraine and all those occupying military bases across the world. Roman Empire part deux.
The arrogant US empire has over expanded for a long time, it has reached its peak and is now decaying with criminally incompetent government, going back decades. Just like so many empires ended, only the US empire ends sooner than other great empires did.
“Due to the IRS cuts and lack of Ukraine funding, it could fail to make it through the Democrat-controlled Senate”
Looks like partisan gridlock may save the day once again!
Gridlock would be preferrable to handing Israel more tax dollars to use for their war crimes.
Self defense is laudable,not a war crime.
Who decides what self defense is? The evil criminals Zionists and Nazis define it?
Israeli criminals are defensive and unarmed Palestinians are the aggressors, is that it?
Well, you never fail to deliver reply as expected.
Hamas is not unarmed,and are using hapless Gazans as shields. Before the latest pogrom,ther were no Israelis in Gaza,and amodicumof peace.
Your tales are pretty sloppy.
IDF people have used Palestinians as shields, not Hamas. The resistance, Hamas and others, are the children of the refugees from Israel, they are their parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers. They have arms but nothing to compare with the weapons the IDF has, they will throw stones if they have to and they hate Israelis, and how could it be otherwise?
How about no money for the IRS and no money for Israel and UKR. O YA! 🙂 Bring it.
Oh good grief, this is obscene. They have already gotten billions over the years, all they do with the money is evil and destructive. I find myself having more in common with progressives than anyone else on this war issues.
What???????????
“Russian Imperialism”? WTF! If that be the case what in hell does that make the USA and the DC Ghouls? LOL!! Purge them all! AMF!
Yes, the US is imperialist, too.
Suddenly there is no deficit to worry about.
They willprint hteir way out,destroying the value of the dollar and all the US debts.
NO MORE MONEY FOR ISRAEL, NO MORE MONEY FOR WAR!
Duplicity and Complicity go hand in hand…
The US is defending national security in Europe N. Africa and Asia?
What nation in the ME where three continents meet is attacking the USA? We are being governed by criminal idiots. The Botox Biden face is enough to want to ****.
