Here's the big 4, from that list:

I got no problem with disaster assistance. The rest I'm not sure about.

Curious how Congress defines "disasters" worthy of $2.7 billion in assistance.

I have a feeling it is a very inclusive definition, covering much more than earthquakes and hurricanes.

Here’s the big 4, from that list:

$1.371bn for Contributions to International Organizations
$961 million to destroy our chemical weapons. Who was it, exactly, who convinced our government to pay billions to develop weapons we now find deplorable?
$2.579m for Commission on Security and Co-operation in Europe
$2.696bn for International Disaster Assistance

I got no problem with disaster assistance. The rest I’m not sure about.

I still find it hypocritically amazing. Not one iota of A1S8 Constitutional authority and there are those supposed (R)N(C) posters w/o ‘having a problem’.

Sorry, SOME of us are tired of being enslaved to write the Fascist/Socialist blank checks NOBODY can cover ($120T+ in unfunded liabilities, $21T+ debt, $1T+ deficits); nor should they.
