Lawmakers from both parties are reportedly seeking to lock in a staggering $50 billion in military aid for Ukraine before a new Congress is sworn in this January. The move is yet another indication that your elected senators and representatives no longer view the American people as their top priority, but rather, the government of a corrupt Eastern European nation is their new baby.
Ukraine needs $55 billion in aid to combat budget and infrastructure matters brought about by the Russian invasion
- President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked for $38 billion to make up for the deficit in next year's budget
- The amount he requested and the amount Congress is considering is close
- And like patrons at Scores in New York City seeing the latest performer walk out on stage, lawmakers are willing to throw money at him no matter how absurdly large the figure
- It's taxpayer money
Endless Money for an Endless War
- Zelensky just got a green light from Congress for an additional $12 billion in aid to Ukraine, along with having the Senate pass a $40 billion aid package in May on top of a $14 billion package in March
- In all, that would amount to $116 billion should the additional funding go through before new members of Congress are sworn in
- Senator Rand Paul has been a rare voice of opposition to providing a blank check to Ukraine with no accountability
