President Joe Biden on Thursday asked Congress for an additional $33 billion in military and humanitarian assistance for the Ukraine, which officials say could fund the war there for the next five months. He said the previous money allocated for the Ukrainians has been spent. 'Basically we're out of money,' he said in remarks at the White House. The money includes $20.4 billion in additional security and military assistance, $8.5 billion in economic assistance, and $3 billion in humanitarian assistance.(Snip)The $33 billion request is more than double the $13 billion that Biden asked for last month and lawmakers approved. The Biden administration has sent more than $2.4 billion

It’s a scam- the money will go into the pockets of Biden’s socialist buddies- and the Big Guy will wet his beak.

We gave the terrorists $85 billion in top equipment so why not?!? There’s plenty more where that came from, suckers! There’s no limit to the hot spots we can gin up to create a public demand for giving.
Did we mention the bidet family’s share of the $33 billion? But don’t worry- joe will never speak of it with his family. Here, have some original art. And shut up.

330 Million Americans, $ 110 per... except that's not the way we do it, half of America pays nothing in taxes. How about passing a hat and seeing what people volunteer?

There will be a lot of money corruptly skimmed off out of this $33 billion boon gangle, you can bet your boots on that. Who is going to be following the money on this one, surely not the wimpy Republicans?

Don't like to keep repeating myself, but focus on our southern border first before sending billions to eastern Europe. We are in danger of being over run by terrorists, drugs, more crime and huge strain on our healthcare and other demands from influx of unknown people we cannot absorb. Wake up!

America is being skinned alive by ftards and kwirdoz.
When will enough be enough?
The most heavily armed citizenry in THE WORLD and we do nothing.
We are not worthy of what our founding fathers and mothers sacrificed so much for.
The French were right in 1789...
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Didn't see the elites make a comeback there for nearly 200 years.

The amount of money printing is unbelievable. 33 billion now for Ukraine with billions more every month to come and 1.3 trillion for school loan relief. You think inflation is bad now, try 50% because that is where were heading. Money used to be the common denominator that we used to exchange our value (effort) with others based on the marketplace for that value. Extreme excess money printing has robbed all working people and savings and totally eroded our ability to do support ourselves. Watch for the oncoming recession and government takeover of rationing essential goods and services.

I don't see any reporting on what this admin is doing to negotiate an end to the conflict. I only see it prolonging the suffering, death and destruction. like so many maladies in this country and world it appears it is all planned.

The democraps never get tired of spending money we don't have...Million here, million there, billion following...and our national debt is $30 TRILLION....what if you STACK a trillion dollars in $1000 bills..
If you stack a trillion-worth of $1000 bills together, then:
1 million dollars = 4 inches high
1 billion dollars = 364 feet high
1 trillion dollars = 63 miles high
(give or take a foot or two)
Note that this is a STACK, not laid end-to-end.

My default position is that we should provide material support to any country which is attacked by a larger neighbor and will fight for their country. MATERIAL support, not troops.

Uhmmmm....this is fully 30% of Ukraine's annual GDP, so far.
Their President says it is needed to maintain govt workers payrolls and even pensions, after announcing raises from $350 a month for military/govt workers to $3500month.
"Perhaps" we should be contemplating "Lend/Lease"? Ya think??

At 10%, that would account for $3.3 billion for "The Big Guy"--whoever that is.

By the way...US Defense spending was reduced 6.5% last quarter, while supplies were dramatically drawn down to send to Ukraine.

In a sense, Ukraine wants the money back that they paid to Hunter.
If I were Zelensky, I'd send a couple of Ukrainian (version of) Seals to Hunter's Malibu house in the middle of the night.
Hunter needs to relocate and give up the expensive real estate that our tax dollars are protecting.
He could get a castle over there with his kinds of bucks.

The U.S. is importing the Ukranian refugees, and as refugees, they will be eligible for full government benefits, including cash welfare payments,food stamps, medicaid, SSI...and those who were ukranian government employees can have direct deposit for the cash being sent by Biden.
Sweet deal, hey?

The Bidet junta is robbing us blind, and the feckless Republican side of the coin as usual won't lift a finger to stop it. Sure wish Russia would release whatever information they're holding; maybe get the ball rolling domestically, because we can't last much longer.
