House GOP Bill Provides Israel Aid But Cuts IRS Funding, Adding to Deficit

House GOP bill provides $14.3B in aid to Israel but offsets it by cutting IRS funding, leading to $26.8B decline in revenue per CBO.

Bill headed for Rules Committee and House floor vote this week as GOP challenge to Dems on Israel aid vs IRS enforcement.

Speaker Johnson not surprised by CBO score showing bill adds billions to deficit. Calls it "Washington math."

Democrats criticize bill as exploiting crisis to help tax cheats avoid taxes, with math complaining about debt while decreasing revenue.

Senate Democrats have rejected bill, aiming to move Israel aid with Ukraine funding. Unlikely to pass upper chamber.
