Politicians can’t even do the one thing they know how to do - SPEND

Silly me for thinking the aid necessary for Israel's defense and support couldn’t breeze through the congress without a hitch. Afterall, approving a bill to spend money that we don’t have is exactly what Congress excels at. They are experts at justifying, and spending, monies that is not theirs to spend and that they don’t actually have. So, what’s the holdup? After all both sides agree that money needs to be spent to support both Israel and Ukraine and of course a myriad of other unrelated “needs” of the country. That's right, they both agree the money needs to be spent. The totals that both the Democrats and Republicans want to spend is actually very close to the same number subject to a few rounding errors.

 So, what’s the problem? It comes down to "packaging" the money. How the money gets spent "politically". Democrats want the monies needed to be lumped into one of their infamous “omnibus” bills and Republicans want it broken down into individual bills with each bill justified on its own merits. Oh, one other thing, Republicans want to have any emergency bills of this type to be “paid for” by cuts somewhere else. To get it clear, Republicans want to take monies from previous spending bills that were built without any concern for where the money would come from and apply those monies to the emergency needs of the wars. Makes sense. Sort of. Use money that you didn’t have which was previously approved to pay for something now that is more pressing. In this case, the Republicans are proposing using funds from the 80,000 IRS agents Biden wants to hire to go after so called billionaire tax cheats that in fact do not exist except in the fantasy world of Democrats.

Ask yourself the following: How many billionaires do you think there might actually be in the US? 80,000? 40,000? 20,000? According to Google search there are actually only 735 billionaires in the US. If there were 80,000 (which there are not) Bidens planned IRS expansion would equate to Biden having one IRS agent for every billionaire. Make sense? What bout this question: Of the total billionaires in the US, how many do you think are “cheating?” Half? A quarter? How about this: If the government in fact believes there are billionaire cheaters, where did that theorem come from? A wild guess? Or actual knowledge? And therefore, if in fact, the government had specific knowledge of billionaire cheaters, why doesn’t the IRS target those individuals now? Why wait? If all of them cheat, we’re talking only 735 agents needed assuming you assigned one agent per billionaire. If this is where the urgent need of tax recovery is, then send your dogs directly to the best place to “mine for” unpaid taxes. The answer is that none of this argument for tax agents makes sense.

The only thing that makes sense is that Biden wants to grow the IRS to go after everyone of all earnings classes. And that is why it makes even more sense to take funds from the bogus IRS expansion funding and apply it to the real and immediate needs of this country’s global interests.
