It’s cute that anyone thinks numbers and facts matter at all to people that support these ghouls.
Even if it did pay for itself, this is an obvious ploy to make Democrats vote against aid to Israel and then use that against them.
This man, like all too many so-called Christians, is way too comfortable blatantly lying to and misleading the public.
Could certainly steward better if you allowed the agency that collects taxes to actually do its job
Absolute bullshit. Cutting IRS funds costs money in reduced tax collections at a 2:1 ratio. Maybe he should re-read the Bible passages on bearing false witness. It seems pretty clear…
The debt:
10 trillion from Bush & Trump Tax Cuts for the Rich
8 trillion from Bush’s wars
Repeal the tax cuts. They are not actually tax cuts, they are forced loans at interest.
If Not for Republican Policies, the Federal Government Would Be Running a Surplus
Prepared by the minority staff of the Senate Budget Committee
Introduction
In 2000, the federal government ran a surplus of $236 billion. The next year, the Congressional Budget Office projected that over the following ten years, the accumulated surplus would add up to $5.6 trillion – $889 billion in 2011 alone.1

Yep. The Republicans work for the billionaires. In other news, water is wet!
Increasing the deficit IS good stewardship @ GOP.
Republicans don’t care about the deficit.
[“Republican presidents’ deficits are 9% higher as a percent of GDP.
GDP grows 44% faster under Democratic Presidents.](https://presidentialdata.org/#:~:text=Republican%20presidents'%20deficits%20are%209,44%25%20faster%20under%20Democratic%20Presidents.)
No, it’s not…it’s being a good steward for billionaires
Mike Johnson being asked about this by the press:
“God spoke to me and said wealth is evil. Millionaires and Billionaires will inherit the earth, says the Lord my God.”
Yeah Mike, your logic is asinine.
Won’t someone think of the billionaires! WHaT aBoUt the BilLionaires!
Oh, you mean he’s being disingenuous, how surprising…
“Speaker Johnson: GOP Funding Israel Aid By Gutting the IRS Is Just Us Being “Good Stewards of the Taxpayer’s Resources”” Yeah, no. I prayed on it and god told me that you’re lying.
Since when did GOP care about facts.
Wouldn’t going after fraudulent PPP loans more than balance the budget to provide aid assistance?
The GOP is incapable of governing, full stop.
They won’t vote for anything that would put a single cent towards the American citizens in any capacity but if it’s some roundabout way to fuck us over while also helping themselves and their corporate masters they will gladly bend over backwards to do so. I am disgusted but not surprised.
Repeat this everywhere ” The GOP is willing to hurt American allies if it helps their BILLIONIARE TAX CHEAT DONORS”
What a total waste of time this person is
More brilliant solution to solve the deficit problem.
Bible told him to lie..
Lying is apparently a conservative Christian value.
They aren’t good stewards of anything but hatred.
Well this bill is dead on arrival in the Senate.
This dumbass’s first move as speaker was to paralyze congress while out allies need aid and the government is on the verge of shutdown.
Putin and Hamas couldn’t ask for better allies than the modern GOP.
