Not to be a downer, but $100 billion can go a long way for a lot of good causes that are in the national interest. I’m not convinced the federal taxpayers should pay for metal detectors in local schools. I’m not saying it’s a terrible idea, just not sure it is a federal responsibility and possibly worse, federal spending is so corrupt if they did allocate $100 billion some politicians’ cousins and in-laws would get the contracts and syphon 60% of it.
A response uptrend #48 does a good job at estimating the cost at around a billion.
That’s just a part of the point. The title compares Ukraine spending which is more than a hundred billion to the ZERO spending granted to States towards school security. The question is why? Why are federal school security grants at ZERO, while Ukraine nonsense is more than $100 Billion?
Freepers have explained very well in this thread the answers to this question.
