I have a better idea. Fund the aid to Israel by funding the IRS more, so they can investigate all these Republicans. Should be enough money there to give Ukraine a nice additional package as well.

What’s crazy is the IRS funding increase that Dems put through is basically supposed to pay for itself (unlike the fake promise that comes with tax cuts paying for themselves, which fails every time)
Much more than pay for itself! It will help decrease the budget defecit.
So just like many things Republicans do that they falsely claim will reduce the defecit, this "cost cutting measure" will actually increase the budget defecit.
No kidding. The IRS actually generates revenue. These jerks want it shut down because they hate paying their fair share.
The GOP is just anti-American. Sponsored by Russia.
How many more billions does Israel need? If I was American I would be ashamed to fund a colonial ethnostate.
Yes, many of us are.
How about the exact opposite? Cut funding to Israel to fund the IRS.
Nice, you are onto something.
Gotta clean house in there first. So many Magassholes in leadership positions in that agency.
Based.
Republicans will never stop crippling America financially.
"the party of fiscal responsibility"
As usual, a Republican saying two things we should do the opposite of.
3 things. They also want to eliminate the free filing software for the average person.
Two wrongs make the right!
Remind me again why we need to fund the world's strongest and most elite military?
You all do realize each and every citizen of Israel is drafted. This allows them to select from the best in the country. Again, why are we funding this?
They're anti crime?
Blue collar crime. The only crime that exists.
/s
Can't be anti-white collar crime or they'd be locking themselves up
They're just pieces of shit, that's all.
I guess we can't fund Israel then.
Your tax money is going to a military state that you have no control over.. nice..
Already was
GOP: we made a graphic to explain our new plan.

Isn't that the cancel culture they hate?
What wacky world did I wake up in. Last I checked GOP voters were always in the majority of the pro-Israel camp. When the heck did that change, or is it because GOP has to sign the check this time around they don't want to openly support them?
And then it has a high possibility of turning into 'The House GOP's proposal: Gets vetoed by President Joe Biden'
