The President’s tweet said we’ve given the Paki’s 33 billion over 15 years. That works out to over 2.2 billion a year. 285 million ain’t nearly enough.

There was a list of US contributions to foreign governments floating around last year. It was (and continues to be) stunning.

Why ?

Don’t forget that “trillion” does not show in the budget. It’s an “off book” slush fund.

As I understand it, the UN budget, not our contribution, was decreased by $285m. Of course, our contribution will be reduced as a result, but it won’t be the whole $285m. That said, it’s a good start.

Yes it will. The only reason the UN budget was decreased was because we said, we 'ain't pay'en' $285M.

“”actually, it was evertt dirkson that made the observation””

I was trying to come up with the name and you got it....
Correct. Biden? HA! He couldn’t even account for the stimulus money which was his job so unlikely he would know what a million/billion/trillion dollars is... He never considered the end result of any taxpayer giveaway! He was getting his and that’s all that mattered.
