The new House Speaker, who has demanded that $14.3 billion be siphoned off the IRS budget to fund Israel, is pulling a stunt that one Senate Democrat called “horrifying.”
“It’s a poison pill,” said Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, likewise called the proposal “horrifying,” adding, “The idea that somehow you would basically condition support for Israel on giveaways to wealthy tax cheats takes your breath away.
Those disputes have only worsened under Johnson: House Republicans now hope to chip away at the nearly $80 billion in additional funding the IRS received last year from the Inflation Reduction Act, despite having already cut $21.4 billion from the agency’s budget during the debt ceiling crunch in May. “I understand their priority is to bulk up the IRS,” Johnson told Fox News on Monday.
