Washington — The Senate on Tuesday passed a long-delayed $95 billion package with wide bipartisan support after both sides of Capitol Hill have struggled for months to send aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
The final vote was 79-18. Fifteen Republicans voted with three Democrats against the bill. Forty-eight Democrats and 31 Republicans voted for the bill.
The legislation next goes to President Joe Biden to sign it into law, who said he would sign the package Wednesday. Its passage is a significant victory for the US president, congressional Democrats and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, who long pushed

And 90% of the money will be spent inside the USA on worker wages, materials and things like that. We are giving old weapons to Ukraine, and buying new weapons for our military to replace older models, and munitions which have spent most of their safe lifetimes on the shelf....to be replaced with improved models with the shelf life clock starting anew.
Jobs for Americans.

From the graph in the article:
"$60.8B for Ukraine
Includes $23.2 billion to replenish US weapons
and services given to Ukraine"
Read: $23 billion dollars to pay to the "military industrial complex" to re-stock OUR defensive position with plenty of money from those contractors to grease the palms of politicians in a spin cycle of money laundering--
They have been using up war materiel as an alarming rate which is MUCH FASTER than we can build to replace what was being used and lost in the UKRAINE war effort against a Super Power who just needs to bide its time to wear down the Ukraine forces until the American taxpayer says NO MORE!
WE have an INVASION at OUR Border that is being perpetrated ON PURPOSE to affect the 2030 census to create a welfare dependent class of unskilled workers so that demonrat socialists can take over and never look back.

Both of my Louisiana ex-democrat republican senators voted to send our tax dollars to be squandered and laundered through Ukraine. The current speaker, also from Louisiana, made it possible by forwarding this legislation with his tie breaking vote.

It's a travesty. But the Democrats always liked the Nazis, till they attacked Joe Stalin. I guess they don't rate Putin with Stalin.
The main reason, though is the Ukrainians have so much dirt on so many Biden, then could probably all be sentenced to death. Payoff for cover up.

FTA - "“You can get things done and I hope our Republican colleagues have learned that lesson not to listen to the hard right, but to try and work and get things done,” the New York Democrat said in a news conference."
Schoomer, you are most disgusting, pal.

DVC... I wish that were true, but most of the money that stays in America, goes into the pockets of Democrat donors who put aside 10% for "the Big Guy".

I read it somewhere, but I have forgotten the amount..... how many Million$ are going to purchase 'humanitarian aid' to Gaza.... which will be promptly stolen by Hamas, to be used for THEIR purposes?
Yep, the American Taxpayers are being forced by our politicians to support both sides in the middle east..... again.
Anyone know.... what actual articles of 'humanitarian aid' are we being forced to purchase and deliver, and what is the actual total cost per article? Just some examples will do.... for instance, perhaps a sack of -flour, or rice, or corn, or whatever- and what is the total cost of that sack, delivered? I'll bet it is some PRICEY stuff!
And WHO is making the PROFIT on all this?

#1, and where in the news or online have you seen a actual person with authority make that statement? Or is it just a political talking point to make it go down better?

maggot mike also secretly included oodles more money, for the NGO's, to push more trouble
across the border, for the demise of america at our expense. 1 of those NGO's could be the
one recently formed by bush, clinton, obama iirc... to get in on the expected tsunami of more dosh?
this could be yet another reason why the border stays open, one expects.
he then has the unmitigated gall to show up to the columbia campus as though he were our Lord
and Saviour--or--perhaps Obama--appearing there to becalm the winds and waters. grrreat.
or just bend the knee and wrangle votes for for chy-na joe.
more crazy: this prancing git was invited by PDT to mar-a-lago; then complained his sons nearly
drowned there??!
now PDT is singlehandedly causing the oceans to rise, in direct contravention of the mighty commands
of the chicago messiah?? you can't make this stuff up.

More money, more weapons, more dead. Nothing will be achieved but suffering, chaos, destruction, hate and economic ruin for millions.
