    There are a lot of things people should riot about, but the spirit of most Westerners is so completely broken that the idea of fighting for their rights is absurd to them. It doesn't even cross their minds as an viable option. A people so entirely cucked by capitalism.

    They should also cut the budget for sanitation. Actually, no. Cut funding for everything and send it all to Ukraine and Israel.

    Not that it especially matters, but the IRS budget is unrelated to Social Security.

    https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023577

    226 Voted for the bill, 196 Voted against.

    12 Democrats voted in favor of the bill: Angie Craig (Minn.), Donald G. Davis (N.C.), Lois Frankel (Fla.), Jared Golden (Maine), Josh Gottheimer (N.J.), Greg Landsman (Ohio), Jared Moskowitz (Fla.), Darren Soto (Fla.), Haley Stevens (Mich.), Juan Vargas (Calif.), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) and Frederica S. Wilson (Fla.)

    2 Republicans voted against the bill: Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.)

    Biden has the opportunity to veto the bill. but I'm inclined to believe that he won't.

      Well he already said he was gonna veto it...

      ...but I actually agree with you. Biden vetoing Israel funding? hah, fat chance.

      Just rub this article in Liberal faces if he ends up not going for a veto.

        The IRS is saying that the republican israel bill would cut $90 billion for IRS revenue.

        In Biden's proposed bill, he wants to give $61 billion to Ukraine, $14 billion to Israel for "defense", $14 billion to US Mexico border security, and $4 billion to "Countering China's influence in developing countries and Indo-Pacific". Biden's bill only requests $9 billion for "Humanitarian Aid", which is not even limited to Gaza or Palestine.

        Biden said he would veto the republican bill because he wants to spend over $90 billion on war and maybe Palestinians get a fraction of $9 billion for food and medicine.

    This has to be deliberate self-destruction at this point, intended to reduce the ability to collect taxes later. doomer

    Wasn't the Senate dead set on Ukraine funding with this? And it's well short of the hondo billy Biden asked for
