The US Senate on Thursday passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown.

The bill, which has to clear both chambers and head to Biden’s desk for a signature before midnight Friday, will fund the government through December 16.

In addition to money for federal agencies, the funding bill includes $12.3 billion in new money to help Ukraine turn back Russia’s invasion. The aid includes both military and economic assistance.

Since this is a funding bill for the US government are they officially admitting Ukraine is part of the bureaucracy?

A billion dollars is a lot of money. You know how much a million dollars is, try this to put it in perspective:
A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

“A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.”

And none of that matters to Congress, and it never will. :(

It’s just a bunch of zero’s which makes the difference.
Spending other people’s money must be addictive to their ego’s.

What is really needed is that BOTH of these governments be shut down, permanently.

The main reason for both of them existing is to rob the American Taxpayers, now, and from future generations.

When Congress acts bipartisainly, it screws us all. I would prefer they simply not spend money for a while.
