I'm sure it's more than that now.

(Wow, how many American homeless could be fed and housed for $111 billion.)
No American taxpayer money for
American taxpayers nor homeless American citizens
It’s the Uniparty way
Will he have on ‘his’ stacked/platform dance shoes? đź•ş
“He [Putin] quickly learned that this phoney would drain our treasury and he need only to sit back and let it happen.”

A strategy that may be exceeding Putin’s wildest dreams and designs. But then again perhaps not if he was counting on Biden’s financial attachments to Ukraine to pay off in a big way, which is what’s happening.
Re your post...interesting timing of this meeting.
Indeed Biden thinks nobody is on to it.
My idiot brother in law is 100% behind Biden shoveling billions to Ukraine. And he gets really angry if you ask him why.
“We’re broke...go home.”
************
Burgeoning debt, huge debt service costs, massive unfunded liabilities, and credit downgrades don’t seem to get the attention of the politicians. Zelensky want’s to get his hands on what he can before it all goes bust.
Yes I know...many hungry and homeless Americans....do not seem to want help.
He is free to send his own money to Ukraine. Ask him if he’s doing that and, if he’s not, ask him why since he so strongly supports it. He’ll probably get even more angry when you point out his hypocrisy.
What are the odds he is coming to ask for asylum? Maybe a betting guy meme should be ready.
We've got 20+ million illegal aliens of military age we could deport to Ukraine.
Will Volodymyr play the piano for the Bidens?

None, because the money would just go to Green projects and speeding up processing at the borders.

In total, about $113.1 billion in funding for Ukraine was authorized in 2022, according to an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of that – about $67.1 billion – was for defense-related spending, the CRFB said.
The other $46 billion included $26.9 billion for an economic support fund; $7.9 billion for international disaster assistance; $6.6 billion in assistance for refugees; $1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia; plus another $3.1 billion for other nondefense spending.
The U.S. Agency for International Development has been coordinating with the Treasury Department to distribute authorized economic aid to Ukraine in tranches. In a report published on Feb. 17, USAID said it had so far provided $13 billion in “direct budget support” to the government of Ukraine, or “GoU” for short.
“This funding has helped the Ukraine pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders,” the report says. “It has also helped them to sustain critical healthcare services, meet its pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people, assist 1.3 million internally displaced persons, provide housing assistance to 4.1 million people, and provide social assistance to 240,000 low-income families and 480,000 persons with disabilities.”
That report did not say how much was spent on pensions, but a USAID spokesperson sent us another USAID report to Congress that indicated $4 billion of budget support for Ukraine was spent on pensions as of Nov. 30, 2022.
The bottom line: Biden seen talking about “providing US tax dollars to pay Ukrainian pensioners” may have been surprising, but Biden made those comments BEFORE Congress approved the money months ago.
Update, Feb. 23, 2023: After we published this story, a USAID spokesperson responded to our request for more information. We updated this story to include the amount spent on pensions
Same with my family. Yup...leftists hate direct common sense questions.
