    Can’t help but think that the 300 million is going to achieve a lot more for the safety of America and the West than the remaining 886 billion combined.

      That’s a bit of an exaggeration. However, I do think bloodying a hostile foreign enemy without having to spend American lives is worth every single cent we send Ukraine, not to mention helping them defend their country is the right, moral thing to do…

    $50-60billion or around 6% of it is usually part of the military black budget meaning they don’t have to tell you what happened to the money. So the best way to help Ukraine is to do it in secret, without the divisive debate and announcements to the invaders.

      As far as I know democrats were pushing healthcare, and forgiving student loans. US has enough money for all of those
