I’m sure it is a garbage bill just like thr Ukraine one. Funny how they can never seem to find consensus on American related topics but for foreigners their is always consensus.

“ Yes. Over 30.4 trillion debt and over 169 trillion unfunded liabilities.

Which is why:

1) Obamacare Death Panels

2) COVID-19(84)

3) pushing homosexuality (less reproduction)

And LOTS of abortion 🤪

Have they scheduled the next “free billions to Ukraine” vote yet? Surely they already are planning it.

Worry more about the technology transfer risks.

Chinese and Russian agents will seek to acquire the technology.

Understand that standard US versions will be sent to Ukraine, so the software and algorithms will fall into hostile hands and not merely hardware with software especially written for an export version.

The next time the MSM and Dems tell you that 13 billion for the border wall is too expensive, remind them of this.

The U.S. still can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Not spending the $40 billion would not have solved any other problem that Congress should also be giving its attention to.

Senator’s Paul objection was not about the $ but about trying to get an amendment about accountability for the $ in the bill.

It is not Congress that needs to act on the baby formula program. Biden could suspend all import restrictions from Canada and Mexico on baby forumula and allow any state to accept imported supplies from Mexico and Canada - bingo, end of the shortage.

Congress is nothing but a bunch of criminals and neocon warhawks. So when the Dems start putting forward spending bills targeted domestically to buy votes just before the midterms, how will the Republicans look when they all of a sudden pretend to be fiscal conservatives and try to block them? They certainly have no issues sending huge sums overseas. All of these people make me sick.

Not much military equipment in this - this $40 billion will in large part help fund the Ukrainian government by paying government officials’ salaries and expenses...

89% of the Senate voted to fund the Ukraine’s pension plans, while ours lose value daily thanks to Biden’s inflation.

There is also the prolonging of the war.

Russia can probably deliver two million tons of explosive force annually, about 100 times the force of a Hiroshima atomic bomb.

That’s four billion pounds of explosives, or enough for one pound of explosive per square foot for about 800 square miles, annually.

Russia ultimately has the explosive power necessary to win.

IF EVERY REPUBLICAN HAD VOTED AGAINST THIS BILL IT STILL WOULD HAVE PASSED.
That's why we have to elect our winners and our losers because we can't win ANY vote when we can't even suit up for the game

It should have been a hundred billion dollars. 99 cents out of every dollar will end up in the Democrat politicians off shore bank account. But that is what the American Public wants. They don’t mind if they starve if their Democrats can live high on the hog.
