Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican Leader, spoke plainly about what a GOP House majority would mean for Ukraine aid: Republicans are “not going to write a blank check to Ukraine.”
So as the window to distribute aid to Ukraine potentially closes, members of Congress are hoping to attach a chunk of Ukraine aid to a lame-duck session government funding bill. The size of the new Ukraine aid package is $50 billion – a massive increase over last month’s $12 billion package, and a 77% increase in the amount of total aid – $65 billion – so far sent to Ukraine. The extra $50 billion is intended “to make sure [Ukraine] can get through the year,” a Republican senator told NBC. “It’ll make the $12 billion look like pocket change.”
If the new aid package passes, the aid sent to Ukraine this year will total a value of $115 billion.

Zelensky says Ukraine ‘doesn’t have a cent’ and calls on allies to provide another $17bn in financial aid, Bloomberg reports

How about we give them no new aid and instead shift the money into pay raises for the military, building the wall, and more border control.
And while we are at it, a couple of billion for the states to deport illegal aliens.
The old GOP is so out of touch with voters.
Their end couldn’t come too fast.
Good one. LOL. Like our money printers worry about affording anything.

Dem’s plan to usher in Democratic Socialism:
Barracks and Bread lines
They idolize Socialism.
Russia Defense Budget 2022 - $66 billion
And yet the Biden admin has done practically nothing that actually helps them.
McCarthy should do what Trump would do if he was Speaker; let’s call it the “Share the Burden Act.” Take three equal proportions from Biden’s two funding acts passed so far totaling 3.1 trillion encumbered dollars, and the third portion made up of new debt funding to pay for the Ukrainian war effort. Wouldn’t that be a sight?
I wonder how much the europeons have spent?
