WOWOWOW.
It must really suck for all those people whose full time job it is to **report** on Congress who should have known better about this being an "offset."
Surely they're all crafting apologies for their subscribers right now?

🚨 BREAKING -- CBO says the #House's #Israel aid bill is not offset at all.
Will add $12.5B to the deficit in the next decade.
Cuts to IRS will decrease revenue by $26.7B
Revenue raising ideas.
1. Permits to hunt billionaires for sport.
2. Allow one state to secede. The one that offers the US the best deal wins. Then Puerto Rico can be made a state, and we won't have to change any flags.
@deilann @GottaLaff @emptywheel
Some of the states (mostly the same set as 160 years ago) are chomping at the bit to get out from under the heel of Washington D.C. Now as eager as we may be to get rid of some of them, there's a lot of US property that needs to get moved out. Then there's the matter of reimbursing US taxpayers for capital improvements, not to mention relocation stipends for those who wish to remain US citizens.
