President Joe Biden announced Monday that survivors of the Maui fires would receive “a one-time $700 payment per household,” after he faced criticism for telling a reporter he had “no comment” on the rising death toll.
His account posted: “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time.”
The one-time payment of $700 per household is less than the estimated cost to each American household for the Ukraine War, according to a budget expert at the Heritage Foundation.
Richard Stern, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, calculated that the congressionally-approved aid to Ukraine of $113 billion amounts to roughly $900 per American household.

OK
How the hell does Biden or any president have the authority to just give out $700 to everyone?
I am not against it, but congress should have to approve of that IMO.
ROFLMAO!!
The survivors should "identify" as "undocumented asylum seekers".
The feds give them the red carpet treatment.
“And after Katrina the Mexican army supplied a portable military kitchen for meals”
Lol. And they’re still here.
$700 ain’t spit in Hawaii!
They will get billions more. First the ones who had no insurance or were welfare or immigrants will get thousands. If you were self sufficient like I was, you get the $500 and that’s about it.
Mike Pence will do an ad showing how he would combat wildfires by holding up a fire extinguisher and squeezing the trigger without pulling the ring pin.
That’s an insult.
Trump did the same with the urban wildfire I was in. $500. No congress.
700! That is approximately equivalent to nothing. Meanwhile he just sent a few more billion to his blackmailers in Ukraine.
Am waiting for THE...Ukraine to send some of their stolen money back. They can then claim how great they are and how they really really REALLY care.
Actually, I would laugh if Russia were to come forward and offer a few million up. Watch as pig face goes all funky, pisses his pants and shits them, yelling how it is not welcome.
$700 per household? What an insult.
Biden says:
“Why spend our money on people in Hawaii, when we should be spending it om people in the United States?”
700 bucks? That’s groceries for a family of four in ultra high cost Hawaii. These folks have no homes, but Slow Joe hands them 700 bucks. Gosh, they’d get more if they were NOT US citizens, like Ukrainians or the illegal invaders from meh-hee-ko.
Aw, c’mon, man, the residents of East Palestine, Ohio, didn’t even vote for Biden, at least so far as can be determined.
Those folks in Lahaina are loyal voters for the Biden franchise, every one of them.
And they still don’t get what amounts to a pinch of salt.
joe's a joke and we need to RICO HIM and his crew.
The smartest guy Slow Joe knows drops that much a week on crack.,..
