The Heritage Foundation found that the United States’ current provision of $113 billion in aid to Ukraine costs $900 per American household.

“The formal aid packages alone amount to a staggering $113 billion—roughly $900 per American household and almost 12 times the spending cuts promised by House leadership in the annual spending bills,” Richard Stern, the director of the Heritage Foundation Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the Daily Signal.

After every able-bodied Ukrainian man has been maimed or slaughtered and every young Ukrainian women has been shipped off to the world’s brothels and strip clubs, Linda Graham will call it, “the best money we ever spent.”

...that we know of.

Obama never accounted for the pallets of cash he sent to Iran, so that wasn’t a ‘line item’ anywhere.

Also, Black Ops doesn’t have to report their trillions in spending to Congress.

I can’t imagine just HOW MUCH American Wealth has been transferred to the deep state to the Ukraine. The money was going there to be laundered BEFORE the war.........

I’m kind of hoping that the Heritage Foundation will figure how much each illegal is costing Americans.

“United States’ current provision of $113 billion in aid to Ukraine “

This is a lie. They are playing accounting games. They use the cost of the weapons provided from 20-30 years ago, not today’s replacement cost. It’s probably double what they tell us. Also they are not counting the billions spent on military support such as satellite operations, spy plane and command and control operations, drone operations, cargo plane flights, you name it. None of that is considered “aid to Ukraine”. That is just US military budget.

Lies lies lies.

That 130 billion number is like the perpetual 12 million illegal aliens count they have pushed for the last 30 years.

On the "speedy" and UMCmom" threads, some of the fans allege there can only be two stances. Pro-Z or pro-P, and dare any to argue with them, for any who disagree with them become anointed as "Putin" fans.

This Heritage Foundation calculation proves that argument malarkey. Every taxpayer and every household that is affected by increasing debt is involved.

Since we are in debt to our eyeballs, it $900/family added to debt.

The problem isn’t money, we can always print whatever is needed, the problem is WEAPONS as we cannot ‘print’ those and instead of to rely on non-existent production lines (or ones just starting up).

The Russians obviously knew that was our weakness, as the more woke the country became, the more DISCONNECTED our leaders were with military needs...and so the Russians exploited it.

In another 5 years and assuming that we can find the necessary raw materials (from somewhere), we’ll have production lines running again...but by then Trump will be on good terms with the Russians, and so will his successor.

Cheap at the price—there is no way to put a value on making the world safe for perverts.
