QUESTION: Marty; Why would Biden allow the billions he is sending to fill the pensions of government workers in Ukraine?
ANSWER: This video has been going viral. However, this was from the beginning – of April 28th, 2022. The pensions are all the Ukrainian politicians – not the people. This is the kickback for destroying their own country. As long as they are being paid by the United States, they will allow this civil war to continue unabated. This money going to Ukraine is filling the pockets of Ukrainian politicians against their own people.
This was not from Biden’s surprise visit to Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv. He met with Zelensky as a slap in the face to Putin. During his visit, Biden announced yet another additional half-billion dollars in U.S. assistance — on top of the more than $50 billion already provided — for military equipment and other aid. With this addition, he will be handing Ukraine twice the military budget of Russia. By allowing the money to go into the pockets of Ukrainian politicians, this is not helping the people of Ukraine.
Back in April 2022, Biden gave $1 billion in economic security. “This is money the government can help use to help stabilize their economy, to support communities that have been devastated by the Russian onslaught, and pay the brave workers that continue to provide essential services to the people of Ukraine,” Biden said on April 21.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the economic aid will keep Ukraine’s government running by paying employee salaries and pensions and supporting other social programs. Close to $2 billion was included in the March 2022 aid package to support “either macroeconomic needs in Ukraine, continuity of government efforts such as energy and cyber security, or needs in neighboring countries.”
Biden has been supporting the economy of Ukraine, not just providing aid to the military. Ukraine has been given more economic aid for its economy that any state in the Union.
The Big Guy needs flushed. He stinks!
The title is not true. The government had guaranteed many union pension funds over the years.
I don’t think it’s right in either case.
surely Congress can use the power of the purse and stop this nonsense.
How many of the neocons here are fine with this?
How much money did hurricane ravaged Florida get?
How much money did polluted Ohio get?
I despise this Americans Are Last SOB.
It’s guillotine time...
How much money went to shore up our social security?
How much money went to ensure our energy independence?
"Biden Guarantees Pensions of Ukraine – Not Americans"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
From related thread...
Why aren't "power of the purse" House majority so-called "MAGA Republicans" screaming that Justice Joseph Story had clarified that the states have never expressly constitutionally authorized the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress to tax and spend in the name of foreign aid.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
Patriots, the bottom line is this imo. What is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments controlled by bully, constitutionally undefined political parties, from oppressing the people under their boots?
The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
How can we stop this? This POS should not be able to just steal Americans money and give it to his buddies.
America Last
Americans Last
And the Teamsters. Biden bailed out their pensions:
What does "It’s going to allow pensions and social support" mean?
1) The US will pay for the weapons, and if Ukraine has any money after that it will pay pensions, etc.
2) The US will pay for everything
Estimate how many Ukrainians die if the US stops support of Ukraine. Describe the life of a Ukranian in a country under a Russian victory.
I didn’t say stop all support. Trump supported sending weapons to Ukraine far beyond what Obama did. I oppose unconditional support, which is what the Biden gang, Vindman, Nuland, and RINOs want. You are framing the question as all or nothing.
