    Further, the latest batch of Ukraine spending was funded by cutting funds to the IRS, so we’re not only losing money now, but in the future too.

    That’s factually untrue. The IRS has not been defunded; but House Republicans have been in such disarray that currently no government agency is getting more funding.

    It’s been the Republicans demanding the cuts; not the Democrats, who would rather spend money so that we can fund everything important appropriately so that real recovery from the pandemic is felt by the people.

    The Republicans are demanding we reduce our debt at a time where that’s just not practical and are holding our budget hostage so much that our credit is being slashed.

    The Republicans have been disrupting the financial state of the country. They caused the ding on our credit. They have consistently refused to compromise throughout this entire session of Congress.
