GOP Funding Bill Ignores Assistance to Israel

[candycorn]

The CR offered by the new Speaker is without funding for assistance to the country of Israel. I thought Republicans/Conservatives were in favor of supporting Israel?

From the link: "The proposal leaves out funding the Biden administration requested for Israel, Ukraine and the U.S.-Mexico border."

Wow!
One would think that given their rhetoric that they’d be first to propose such cleanly.

Now show the poison pill.

 

[candycorn]

Now show the poison pill.

Here it is:

"The bill, championed by newly minted Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is narrow in scope, pairing Israel aid with $14.3 billion in cuts to IRS funding that was approved through Biden’s 2022 sweeping climate, health and tax law."

The House refuses to fund bills it passed into law. And one that funds the government. So the result would be, of course, more debt.

Israel has plenty of money. They can pay for their own war.

Thank you.

First of all, this is about as much of a "war" as the Warsaw ghetto uprising was a "war" but pro Israel MSM has effectively deceived anyone who hasn't witnessed the evidence of Zionist genocide themselves.

I was in Southern Lebanon during the '73 War and saw evidence of IDF torture such as cigarette burns, missing fingers and other evidence that Israel Jews learned nothing from the Holocaust® from which they still profit.

As long as AIPAC and related Israeli lobbies run America's foreign policy, there will be no end to the $ Trillions the manage to extort from from working and needy Americans.

EXCERPT "Similarly, aid to Israel—and thus the regional total—also is understated, since much is outside of the foreign aid appropriation process or implicit in other programs. Support for Israel comes to $1.8 trillion, including special trade advantages, preferential contracts, or aid buried in other accounts. In addition to the financial outlay, U.S. aid to Israel costs some 275,000 American jobs each year."CONTINUED

It was dead out the door...

The cuts to IRS were going to cost $27bn...

Only GOP could introduce a cut that costs money

The bill cuts spending, but that’s not how it’s funded? Did you read and understand what you wrote??

Fuck off.

 

[the watcher]

Everyone says we must support Israel without conditions because it is in our interests, but no one can say what those interests are exactly.

To compare Gaza to the Warsaw ghetto is an all time low.

Does this look like the Warsaw ghetto to you?

Was Iran funding the Warsaw ghetto 24/7 with money and weapons?

This is a picture of real genocide idiot.

And Jewish civilians need to arm themselves. You would think they would have learned that much from the Warsaw ghetto and give up the Left wing crap about how guns are evil. You never hear the Left say that the Hamas guns and rockets are evil, and you never will.

Republicans wanting to decrease debt is clearly a lie.

Reducing debt requires increasing revenue – which is the responsibility of the IRS; something Republicans obviously don’t understand.

Sure, if we had the money.

No reason at all to link those.

Biden has shown no sign of wanting the enforce the border, why would a sack of money change his mind? Oh, wait . . .

Strange...when you blob was building the wall, that was "enforcing the border". Biden wants to build some wall...and he is supposedly "showing no sign" of wanting to secure it.

Weird.

Funded by an equal cut in other spending, right?

A person couldn’t cut their credit card debt without getting a raise? Forgoing that $5 Starbucks latte and applying it to the debt would not be an option? Who knew?

Cuts to IRS funding (so saving money) is a poison pill? You’re kidding right?
