Senate blocks House GOP’s Israel aid bill with matching IRS cuts

JTN:

The Senate on Tuesday voted to table a measure from House Republicans to provide Israel with emergency aid while cutting the budget of the Internal Revenue Service.

The vote passed on party lines, The Hill reported. The bill cleared the lower chamber earlier in November in a 226-196 vote. The measure would have provided Israel with $14.3 billion in support amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza while imposing matching cuts on the IRS to offset the expense. more

  1. Unless something enriches politicians personally or assists them in getting re-elected, forget their support. The best interests of the citizens are but an afterthought. They are all self-serving creatures filled with greed and avarice and don’t care if their actions harm the country or its citizens.

  2. While taking from the IRS budget to support Israel is a nice idea; if the Senate will not cooperate, then claw back the money sent to Ukraine in order to redirect said money to Israel. Just don’t create MOAR fiat dollars.

    I used a google “sheets” spreadsheet and data from the above link to calculate that under under Trump from April 2018 through April 2021, soda (cola) inflation was 8.96%, and under Biden from April 2021 through April 2023, said inflation was 17.12%, for and overall five year inflation rate for soft drinks in 12-packs of 12 ounce cans of 12.16%. My personal definition of inflation is when the value of my investments, (demand deposits plus securities plus equity,) drops as a function of the U.S. money supply as reflected in the cost of real goods … like groceries.

  3. The House reportedly controls the purse strings.
    Biden has funded many “unapproved” expend itures well beyond what was outined for Israel.

    Fund Israel the same way Biden has funded Ukraine, Palestinians and Iran, without legislation.
