79b is wrong it’s 110b or more. And the public is never given the total.
“And the public is never given the total.”

They only tell us what they want us to know.
Foreign Aid to Ukraine (like other countries) is understated in money thrown away. Foreign aid should be added to the cost to us in training foreign countries soldiers, the cost for war exercises (we are currently moving troops into Poland, Romania, Lithuania, etc) the added costs of putting us into a war footing which we are.
A good example is Afghanistan and Iraq, that twenty year war cost us an additional 1.5 trillion dollars on top of what we gave in aid.
Biden’s Ukie war will most likely be the straw that broke the camels back- this war destroyed the petro dollar, destroyed US hegemony, and cost millions plus in disrupted trade, supply disruptions and inflation.
Carry on war cheerleaders, you lead us into destruction in so, so many ways.
Either way it’s wrong to do this with our money.
I want a refund to the US and have them apply it to a quick solution to the debt ceiling problem. Along with a reduction in wasteful spending.
What a dreamer I am.
At 100 billion, that’s like 3k each for the poorest Americans.
Imagine if each community good give a grant of that much to people they identify as really needing it and who would put it to a good use.
Nor provided any documentation where that money was used.
