We had to borrow that money. How much money are we prepared to borrow/spend to keep this proxy war going? Zelensky estimates he will need $800 billion to rebuild the country. When will this war end?

We have no real accounting of how this money is being spent in one of the most corrupt countries on earth. $54 billion is not a small sum. Biden will be asking the lame duck Congress for $37 billion more. It will take years to replenish our war reserves. Well spent? You have no idea where the money and weapons are going. No accountability.

Yes, but the 54 billion that went to support Ukraine is not what's bankrupting us, or setting records of spending last year= 6.6 Trillion. As for corruption, most of the aid is in weaponry.

The $430 billion climate change, health-care and tax bill passed by the U.S. Senate on Saturday delivers a major win for Democrats, and will help reduce the carbon emissions that drive climate change while also cutting costs for the elderly.

The massive economic and climate package passed Friday by House Democrats includes $60 billion for so-called environmental justice priorities, and White House officials are pledging that economically disadvantaged communities grappling with pollution and health disparities will have a clear line to that money.

As long as the politicians make money from it, it will never end.

Last March, Europe confiscated 600 billion dollars + of Russian foreign exchange that sat in European banks. This will pay for Ukrainian reconstruction. After the Kremlin elites get rid of loser Putin and wash their hands clean of his Ukraine mess.

PUTIN IS BAD FOR BUSINESS. Which is selling hydrocarbons to Germany and Europe. So the top Kremlinites will get rid of him.
