senator blackburn and i rise again to make things easy to our colleagues. but i want to tell you not once in my lifetime have i heard any kansan come to me and express interest. putting forth the exact same bill, for several months i've said if you don't like, show me another but at the end of the day what matters is getting the aid to israel immediately and since on tax days no less to pay for the aid unfortunately it just won't be paid for. people of israel need us to make the deal. once again we will see the democrats block this bill. that's because it's not about the cuts to the irs. it's time to stop politicking. senate opposition here against live unanimous consent proves american people in israel that it's not about the irs cuts being used as paid for. it was never about tax cheats for millionaires, it's about using ally israel to pond underlying mission to send another blank check to ukraine and it's about a handful of proiranian and pro-palestinian votes in swing states. it's that simple. again, i call my democratic colleagues to do the right thing
