Still, Johnson stressed the need to prioritize standalone aid to Israel while offsetting the costs. He said standing with Israel is a"more immediate need than IRS agents." The IRS has said it will use that money to update its decades-old computer systems, improve customer service and step up enforcement for collecting the estimated $600 billion in taxes thatJohnson said the bill aims to take some of the IRS funds to deal with the immediate national security need, adding that"we'll deal with the rest of that issue later."that the idea of offsetting the cost of foreign aid is a sensible approach, given the U.S.' sizable deficit and debt.
