It wouldn’t be even a drop in the bucket. The entitlement programs are tens of trillions out of whack.
“Why doesn’t she propose, instead, to use the billions to help shore up Social Security and Medicare?”
You’re pretty new to this, aren’t you?
If our politicians weren’t sending the money to Ukraine they would find some other way to squander it. Social Security and Medicare are dead ducks already, they won’t be wasting money on those, especially since it would buy them zero votes if they did.
Don’t forget to build the wall.
And stop arguing in favor of Kevin McCarthy’s leadership. He HATES us. Which makes me suspect her. Did she get paid off too?
The far end cost of a border wall is 25 billion (likely cost $15B).
The new proposed aid to Ukraine is $49B.
So, for half-price, the wall could be built.
Instead of spending money to protect Ukraine’s border, the money should be used to fund the construction of our border wall.
We could get back at the Dems for what they did to the Vietnamese!
What? And give up all those kick backs and pay offs?
People have to realize that this federal government is their enemy and not their friend.
When you have a spouse that is abusive do you continue to live with that spouse? No? Then why do we enjoy getting abused by a criminal cabal in DC?
They are criminals..ever one of them. Every single thing the mob used to do illegally, the federal and state governments have made legal and now control.
Only thing left is prostitution, and even that is legal since every single son of a bitch in DC is nothing but a prostitute.
Rounding error as of now. The money pits of Iraq and Afghanistan have helped to destroy the future of America as well. The coming austerity and cuts to medicare, social security, medicaid, etc all of it needs to happen. Unfortunately, people keep on electing always spenders, regardless of party.
Another Putin stooge. This is more important than American infrastructure or Social Security or tax relief. We are fighting this proxy war to ensure that “well SOB, the prosecutor got fired, will not vanish from the earth”. There are more important things than your petty concerns about life in America. Get with the program!
Washington could spend it on us, however last time I check there are over 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities, it would not do much. However perhaps we could use them to build a wall? but that will probably reduce worker drones to continue supporting the unfunded liabilities. This is a hard question, how about we just launder it though Ukraine and forget about the drones and save ourselves? yea that seems easy enough.
Pure politics and not any sort of real solution.
Shifting what has and is scheduled to go to Ukraine will not even beging to shore up Social Security and Medicare.
Totally ending some things like the entire dept of ed would be more helpful.
Spoiler alert: The GOP wants to eliminate Social Security and Medicare.
She’s just pot stirring. Chumming the water.
