All of this is being funded by people who do live paycheck to paycheck and their kids need to go to college

That's actually not true, if by "funded by" you mean taxes.

Income tax revenue is an unimportant componemt of Federal spending. Most of it is debt, and if you realize that all Federal Reserve Notes (what you refer to as "money") is issued as a debt on the Treasury, then ALL of the spending is debt.

If the income tax ended tomorrow, and they let you keep all of "your money", the government would go on just as before.

This story is so phony.

REALITY CHECK

House Democrats were desperately using every tactic extant
to delay the vote on Repub’s funding bill vote including:
<><>their motion to adjourn vote ...... which failed,
<><>Hakeem Jeffries “magic minute” time-waster—lets the opposition speak as long as they like,
<><>and disinformation Dem staffers were ordered to disseminate about the bill

The Dems needed to buy time for their counterparts in the Senate time to pass a Democrat funding measure to provide billions of taxpayer dollars for Ukraine, whereas the House-passed plan provides zero dollars for Ukraine.

Upshot. When Dem delay tactics failed, and the House passed the GOP funding plan, wily Democrats changed their tune and began singing its praises—even though it provides zero money for Ukraine—and once they recognized defeat, they voted for it and blithely claimed “they won.”
