    There were two bills. Good did not vote against Iron Dome extra money. As a matter of fact, he was a cosponsor to the Republican bill
    H. R. 3706 that sought to appropriate all Palestinian aid to Israel's Iron Dome in addition to all other increases.
    H.R.3706 - Emergency Resupply for IRON DOME Act of 2021
    Rep. Good, Bob [R-VA-5]* 06/04/2021 COSPONSOR

    "Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
