GOP Rep wants to use ‘slush fund’ from progressive-backed pet project to fund foreign aid package
Fox News
Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., suggested Congress pay for the $95 billion national security supplemental package passed by the Senate by rescinding funds from the “Green New Deal slush fund."
After the Senate passed a controversial bill to send $95B in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, Palmer said he was working on legislation that would allocate already appropriated money for foreign aid instead of coming up with new funds. Aubrie Spady is a Production Assistant for Fox News Digital.
"I don't know how they're going to pay for it," Palmer told Fox News Digital of the foreign aid package. "I really don't know the details of it, I've just heard the number. One of the things I've suggested to pay for it, is in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which I call the Income Reduction Act, which included $27B for a Green New Deal slush fund to be administered by the EPA."
