Again, you morons need to look in the mirror and at your history of just the past seven years. I suppose you support sending a few hundred billion more to Ukraine as well.The only real problem we have is over the top GOP propaganda that is divisive hateful and unamerican and anti-american as far as our cherished institutions and laws and public servants are concerned.
If the money isn’t being spent then it’s not adding to the deficit.Sure they can add to the deficit and debt all they want. But they also pass a budget to budget were money goes.
Instead of adding more to the debt or busting the current budget, the gop is suggesting using money already allocated but not being spent, and giving it to Israel
Not sure how this is lost on you…but then again yoj have repeatedly shown a complete ignorance of reality
IRS funding pays for itself.The IRS funding was never paid for so removing some of the funding while adding more costs isn't really doing anything about the debt.

Jewish Democrats are raging at Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) over legislation providing aid to Israel, accusing the newly installed leader of choosing a partisan tack that will only delay emergency assistance to America’s closest Middle Eastern ally.
All but 12 House Democrats voted against Johnson’s $14.3 billion aid proposal Thursday night, with most citing the Speaker’s decision to include cuts in equal amounts to IRS funding.
The legislation is also opposed by leaders of both parties in the Senate, who want a broader package including aid to Ukraine, leaving the fate of the Israel funds in question amid escalating hostilities in Gaza almost a month after Hamas’s terrorist attacks killed more than 1,400 people.
Heading into the weekend, Johnson’s Democratic critics remained furious with the decision to combine the aid to Israel — an issue that has historically enjoyed wide bipartisan support — with a highly partisan cut to one of President Biden’s pet programs. They minced no words in lashing out at the newly minted Speaker, with some even accusing Johnson of abandoning the biblical teachings he claims as a guide.
~Snip~
“If Democrats in the Senate or the House — or anyone else, anywhere else — want to argue that hiring more IRS agents is more important than standing with Israel in this moment, I’m ready to have that debate,” Johnson told reporters Thursday. “But I did not attach that for political purposes, okay, I attached it because again, we’re trying to get back to the principle of fiscal responsibility here, and that was the easiest and largest pile of money that’s sitting there for us to be able to pay for this immediate obligation.”
Commentary:
I’m liking this guy’s strategy so far. Give a little. Take a little.
If the Democrats aren’t freaking out, then Republicans aren't doing the job right. So far, so good.
We know Johnson wants it paid for...so he needs to take it from something that is NOT a supposed money maker. Yet I wonder why Mike Johnson didn't include taking money from Afghanistan too?
Perhaps Johnson will include reduction of aide to Afghanistan in the coming Bill sending aid to the Ukraine.
In the meantime, Israel is getting riled at Biden and Blinken appeasement efforts, telling Israel what to and how to conduct actions against Hamas.....AND....the fact that we "robbed" a stockpile of OUR weapons in Israel and gave them to Ukraine.
Basically, I feel better about election of Johnson as the Speaker. If Democrats were complimenting Johnson's leadership and actions, I'd surely be worried.
Welcome to politics, son.the democrat hate machine is investigating mike johnson
they are digging hard for dirt just like they have done to trump

What a joke. The cultists think their gaslighting works.Nobody expected the democrats to do anything less. They certainly cannot be expected to work with republicans.
And they won't. They will oppose anything that republicans support, for no other reason than to oppose anything republicans support.

Do Republicans want to fund Israel or not?

You guys really aren’t as smart as you think you are. Always changing the subject.Yes, he is.
You guys really aren’t as smart as you think you are. Always changing the subject.
Johnson is altering the deal dems and rinos came up with.
I hope that he rakes back The Turtle's bridge too.
You guys really aren’t as smart as you think you are. Always changing the subject.
For good reason. This scares Ukrainians and Taiwanese and Poles and the French and the Norwegians. We are the leaders of the free world get it? We're not the followers of a mobbed up Manhattan real estate failure con man Mussolini/ Russian oligarch wannabe....Nobody expected the democrats to do anything less. They certainly cannot be expected to work with republicans.
And they won't. They will oppose anything that republicans support, for no other reason than to oppose anything republicans support.
We are so overdue for a Democratic landslide, reform, and fairness after 40 years of giveaway to the rich inequality and now poverty and homelessness. Job. And garbage propaganda all over the new BS GOP...What he is doing is still debt funded.
