Helping Israel is 'far more important' than hiring extra Internal Revenue Service agents, Rep. Dan Meuser told Newsmax on Tuesday, while defending a plan unveiled by House Republicans to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel by cutting IRS funding.
Helping Israel is "far more important" than hiring extra Internal Revenue Service agents, Rep. Dan Meuser told Newsmax on Tuesday, while defending a plan unveiled by House Republicans to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel by cutting IRS funding.
President Joe Biden, in an Oval Office address in the days after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, proposed a bill for $105 billion that allows aid for Ukraine, Israel, the Indo-Pacific region, and humanitarian assistance, with the bulk of the money earmarked for Ukraine. "I'm all for support for Ukraine, but the American taxpayer deserves transparency and accountability for every dollar," said Meuser."What Speaker Mike Johnson is doing, I support entirely," he added. "He is a very good friend of mine, and I respect him. He's showing respect for the American people, and we need to have accountability. People want some responsibility.
"If you've got to spend another $61 billion — that's what's in this bill — we've already provided Ukraine with over $110 billion," he said. "The EU and NATO nations equal GDP ratios have put in about 60% of what the United States taxpayers have put into Ukraine. We need to support Ukraine but it needs to be in parity with our so-called allies. We can't be taken advantage of … $40 billion should be coming from the EU and NATO, not from the American taxpayers.
