Conservatives, including a growing number within the House and Senate GOP, are skeptical of the continued flow of foreign aid without confidence that the war has an end point.
Roberts accused Biden’s funding request for Ukraine of being overbroad, criticizing U.S. aims to help rebuild its war-ravaged economy.
"The House of Representatives should strongly oppose aid to Ukraine when the European Union, which lags far behind the United States in its military assistance to Ukraine, should be required to fund greater levels of aid for Ukraine," he wrote.
"Additionally, any military funding for Ukraine should include a publicly available accounting of how the U.S. contribution so far has been used in Ukraine," he continued. "It should also be debated and considered on its own merits and be legitimately paid for, and not cloaked in so-called ‘emergency’ accounting gimmicks or combined with other funding provisions."
"Furthermore, aid for Ukraine should not be provided until the administration provides a plan that defines the end goal in Ukraine, describes the expected U.S. commitment to achieve that goal, addresses the effects of the presidential drawdown authority on U.S. capabilities, and assures further commitments from our European partners."

Why should Europe pay for Ukraine when all of the briefcases are being distributed to American politicians?
Johnson holding firm on any conservative issue is not looking promising.

MESSAGE:”The House of Representatives should strongly oppose aid to Ukraine. Any suggestion of military funding for Ukraine should include a publicly available accounting of how the $110 billion tax dollars contributed so far has been used in Ukraine.
Tax dollars to Ukraine, if any, should be debated and considered on its own merits and be legitimately paid for, and not cloaked in so-called ‘emergency’ accounting gimmicks or combined with other funding provisions for foreign wars that are none of our business.
Finally, public policy should stipulate that
<><>no tax dollars for foreign wars should even be considered
<><>the Biden administration must provide a specific plan
<><>detailing the end goal in Ukraine,
<><>the expected U.S. commitment to achieve that goal,
<><>the effects of Biden’s military drawdown on American families’ safety and security.
AGREED, HOLD FIRM.
