IRS chief makes eyebrow-raising claim about Israel aid bill, then the CBO quickly kills it
2023-11-02
[BLAZE] IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel claimed that cutting his agency's budget to finance military assistance to Israel will cost taxpayers dearly.

On Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) unveiled legislation to send $14.3 billion in military aid to Israel, a figure both Republicans and Democrats support. To pay for the assistance, the legislation proposes offsetting the cost by rescinding funds appropriated to the IRS in the Inflation Reduction Act.

That proposal, Werfel claimed, will cost taxpayers $90 billion.

"This type of the cut, over the cost of the Inflation Reduction Act, would actually cost taxpayers $90 billion — that's with a 'B,'" he told the Washington Post.
