The White House is blasting House Republicans for setting an "unprecedented bar"
The White House is blasting House Republicans for setting an "unprecedented bar" in their new bill that gives $14.3 billion in aid to Israel.
House Republicans rolled out the 13-page bill on Monday, which would completely offset the foreign aid by rescinding the $14.3 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act passed last year. Specifically, the bill targets some of the $80 billion the package allocated toward the Internal Revenue Service for audits on wealthy individuals.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a White House memo penned by Deputy Press Secretary and Senior Communications Adviser Andrew Bates titled "House Republicans set an unprecedented bar for helping Israel defend itself – and other critical national security needs."
"Despite strong bipartisan agreement that the United States must support Israel as it defends itself after the worst terrorist attack in its history, House Republicans are engaging in a dangerous political stunt that for the first time in American history demands emergency national security funding be fully offset," Bates wrote in the memo. "Though the United States has delivered urgent defense funding to a wide range of allies over many years, this has never been a requirement."

========================
The GOP rolled out a bar? That should make BartenderElite happy. Who knew Democrats would oppose going even more into debt? I guess our national debt isn't enough
As for carving out the money from the budget
Good job GOP
